Rent gouging is understood as the practice of setting rent prices too high or raising rent to an 'unconscionable price.'
After the state of emergency declaration, listings are violating rent caps with increases of 30 to 300%, demonstrating a significant exploitation of displaced residents.
Governor Newsom's declaration included a ban on price gouging, which prohibits rental price increases of more than 10% on properties already on the market.
Despite efforts to assist displaced residents, unethical landlords are attempting to capitalize on the situation, raising rents significantly in a time of crisis.
