Unless you oppose the current rent control/just cause eviction ordinance, that Santa Rosa City Council recently passed, do not sign the related petition that is now being circulated.
It is being put forth as, "A Voters' Rights Issue", which is mis-leading. The petitions' purpose is to nullify/repeal the ordinance that passed, ie., the rent control ordinance is now in effect!
The folks asking you to sign are frequently mis-informed, thinking and saying that this is to "support rent control and get it on November's ballot", and are being paid $5 per signature (which is much more than is usually paid per signature).
The current ordinance protects renters and reasonable landlords/landladies, and is being funded by greedy landlords/landladies.
Please help spread the word---Do Not Sign That Petition !!!
