Due to the recent onset of the wildfires in Southern California, many evacuees & homeowners who have lost their properties are in urgent need of housing. This has lead to an increase of leases of up to 25% Raising the price of essential goods & services, including housing, by more than 10% during a state of emergency violates California's Anti-Price Gouging Statute and is prohibited by Law! Rental prices must remain fair & compliant with California's Penal Code 396, which prohibits increasing the rental price advertised, offered or charged for housing by more than 10% after a declaration of emergency. If you believe that you might have a claim for price gouging, you might consider contacting an attorney to explore your options. For a referral to a lawyer, you may contact the State Bar at (866) 422-2529 or http://www.calbar.ca.gov. If you cannot afford to pay for an attorney, you may consider contacting your local legal aid office.
