Subject: Proposed rental property inspection plan ordinance ITEM NO.:
Asa property owner in SLO, I would gladly pay $100 for an inspection of my unit. This ordinance will
facilitate a sweep of all units and a step toward keeping college students safe from shady landlords.
When we originally bought property in 2009, I was appalled at the lack of rental oversight and safety
issues. Students were in spaces that were unsafe, including an instance of a boxed in space in a garage with a
portable heater. Many units had spaces converted to living quarters that were not permitted. One student had to
be removed by fire marshalls during the middle of the school year for code violations.
Please move forward with this ordinance and put the safety of students first.
Cheers!
Sally
