Anonymous, Fountain Valley Estates
I am a special education teacher and am the sole income earner for my household. My husband cares for our 3 children, including my son who has autism and ADHD. Due to my son’s therapies, my husband stays home. I have enjoyed living at Fountain Valley Estates because of the families in this park. We are in close proximity to great schools and accessible southern california amenities.When we first moved in, our rent was $1600. Unfortunately, since I’m paid on the 10th of the month, I was also charged additional due to late fees. We had tried to get it fixed by managers, but the corporation said no.
I moved to another space in the park and rent went from $1800 to $2100 in 2021, which we knew because the new space is bigger. However they still didn’t change the due date, so I’m still charged late fees. In June 2022, rent was $2268.58. I just received a notice that in June 2023, rent will increase to $2400.16, which is a 5.8% increase. This is in addition to utilities and mortgage. This is definitely causing stress because with raising costs of food and gas, it is getting more difficult to make ends meet.
As an educator, my job is already stressful. I don’t need to be worrying if I can afford to live in my home. Rent stabilization via AB1035 would help reduce the stress by helping us know we don’t have to worry. I sacrifice a lot as an educator and volunteer my time in the community.
I deserve to live comfortably with my family in the community I serve.
