California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta emphasized, 'The price gouging that we're seeing and hearing about needs to stop now. These letters are just one of many tools my office is using to stop this illegal activity.' His office has taken decisive action to put landlords on notice and investigate those violating pricing laws in the wake of devastating wildfires.
Bonta noted that 'the letters notify recipients that they're subject to a price gouging complaint and place them on notice of the law's provisions and penalties for violating it.' This is part of a wider effort to combat significant rent hikes amidst the crisis.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order states, 'Opening your place of residence to help shelter those in need is not only encouraged and generous, but deserves to be protected.' This reflects an attempt to support community solidarity in times of crisis.
