Ordinance Proposal for Rental Inspection Program
Dear City Council,
I am writing concerning the proposed Rental Inspection Program and urge you
to support this much needed program.
Rentals are needing a review, other than fire safety. Some of the rentals in our
community are shabby, unhealthful and unsafe. I have seen first hand the conditions
that some property owners charge enormous amounts of rent for. It is unconscionable.
While I understand that the program being discussed would apply to single
family residences and duplexes, I believe multi- numbered units also need review. I do
not believe the Fire Department has the ability to inspect all rental units or has any
program to do so.
Having a college age child who has rented in San Luis Obispo, I know the
circumstances first hand. I found one of the complexes she rented with a room -mate to
be unsafe, hazardous and filthy beyond belief. I could not believe the amount of rent
and security deposit demanded. If there had been a way, I would have intervened.
Please take all appropriate actions to ensure the health and safety of persons
renting in our community.
Sincerely,
pw - '�� � j
