    Follow the state guideline for standard occupancy. Children should be counted as occupants.
    This is fare to ease overcrowding, prevent health issues and others concerns already raised by other members.

    Allow landlords to retain control over their application process. Do you want someone to tell you how to do your job? Do you want someone to say who can come to your office, and how many people can be in your meetings, and how you should run your meetings? And have you file a petition so you can got to lunch each day, and do a cost analysis about how much you can spent on your lunch? I know how to do my job and do not want to pay you to tell me how to do it.

    The proposed TPO with roommate clause is way too much, which will cause health, overcrowding, parking problems, and safety issues.

    the ARO drives a wedge between owner and tenant. State law requires tenants to write a complaint to the owner in order to protect themselves in court if retaliation eviction comes. Housing encourages residents to make and oral complaint through them. This destroys a valuable relationship and makes it us and them.

    Since tenants can petition for non-family members, and landlords must agree, then many other non-related children can move-in. And, up to 5% joint petition is only if tenant wants to increase the rent. Why would the tenant want to increase the rent? There should be a limit on the number of children. From the new example of 12 in a two-bedroom, forcing the landlord to have 4 adults and 8 children without any approval or rent increase is totally unreasonable.

    Joint petition for additional occupants is NOT a joint petition. ARO memo says: Tenants indicated that they were concerned about abuse of the joint petition process, so the ordinance now reserves the right to file this petition to a Tenant, although a landlord must consent to a joint petition. So, really any additional people can move in without an approval process! No choice for landlord. This is not honest and not fair.

    Must have a limit on number of children (two under the age of six). Over age six, children count toward the two per bedroom limit. Should not allow unapproved non-family members. Need rent increase for additional adults. San Jose is most excessive limits in California; no concern for overcrowding, parking, management of rental. We do not have on-site manager or social services to help.
