Example of a Complaint Form
An example of a Complaint Form that may be effective in making complaints under the new Escondido Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 16E-2a) banning the harboring of illegal aliens is available at the link below. The Complaint Form focuses on landlords having poorly maintained properties, overcrowding, or irregular tenancy arraignments.

On September 30th, a North County Times article had the following quote:
"Complaints, she [Marie Waldron] said, would likely follow from other city code enforcement investigations, such as illegally parked cars and other property violations." Escondido ordinance would ban renting to illegal immigrants
The attached Complaint Form example lists objectively observable conditions related to property maintenance, overcrowding, and lack of normal tenancy arraignments.
The Complaint Form example relies on a well-known link between such objectively observable conditions and illegal alien tenants afraid of complaining for fear of consequences.
Published examples of the well-known link:
"The signs in National City called Mayor Inzunza a slumlord and claimed he supported the [sanctuary] law because he profits from filling his apartments with illegal aliens. They’re not totally wrong on that. An investigative report by the San Diego Union-Tribune found that Inzunza was a terrible landlord and that many of his 100 rental units were of the rat-hole variety. Illegal immigrants fear complaining about poor conditions and often are abused by just such landlords. In National City and Escondido, the advocates for the poorest of the poor are sometimes in league with some of their worst abusers."

"Ricciardelli, who said he has been a landlord for 25 years, said that most of his tenants 'would never complain about the bars on the windows or anything like that -- most of them are illegal aliens.' Five of the tenants to whom the [Las Vegas] Sun spoke on Tuesday confirmed that they wouldn't ever make a peep about those problems because they are afraid of consequences ranging from rent increases to deportation."
