Donate to AAOC’s Legal Fight Against Rent Control

Rent Control is a cancer that financially cripples apartment operations, damages neighborhoods, and diminishes quality of life. We’ve seen it happen over and over in cities that have adopted this harmful housing policy.

The Orange County Register Editorial Board opined last month on the many problems with rent control and discussed how the Apartment Association of Orange County (AAOC) had filed a lawsuit in February against the city of Santa Ana over its radical rent control and just cause eviction ordinance. This cancer must be stopped before it spreads throughout the county. Santa Ana was the first city to fall. Now community activists are calling for rent control in Buena Park and Costa Mesa, operate rental property next?

AAOC needs your help to ensure it has the financial resources necessary to keep up its legal fight in Santa Ana in the months ahead. We are calling upon all members to donate to the AAOC Legal Defense—above and beyond the nominal voluntary contribution that appears on your annual membership dues renewal.

May we count on you to donate to this critically important legal effort?

A donation of any size will help our efforts and be greatly appreciated, but we ask you to consider a contribution based on the number of units that you own or operate—even if your rental property isn’t located in Santa Ana.

Recommended Contribution Amounts:

• $5,000 (50–100 units)

• $10,000 (100+ units)

Checks payable to “AAOC Legal Defense Fund” can be mailed to 525 Cabrillo Park Drive, Suite 125, Santa Ana, CA 92701. You can also donate online at www.aaoc.com/legal-defense-fund.

The rent control threat in Orange County is becoming increasingly real. Santa Ana is just the beginning. Your donation to the AAOC Legal Defense Fund will help to protect your interests, whether your rental property is located in Santa Ana or in another city where legal action may become necessary to stop the spread of the rent control.

Thank you, in advance, for your thoughtful consideration and generous contribution to the cause.
