California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta stated, "The bottom line is this: landlords cannot charge, or accept, rent that exceeds the 10 percent cap set by California's price gouging statute, even if they find someone who is willing to pay it." This means that landlords must adhere to price limits even in competitive rental situations following the recent fires.
Bonta emphasized the importance of tenant protections, stating, "Our legislature has enacted robust protections for renters during times of crisis, and I'm committed to ensuring that those protections are followed and respected." This reinforces the state’s commitment to uphold tenant rights in emergencies.
