The ongoing wildfires have set off a stampede to find housing, leading some homeowners and property managers to raise rents higher than the 10% allowed during emergencies.

    Authorities warn OF rent gouging. Not authorities warn landlords AGAINST price gouging.

    This is truely late stage capitolism. Where the prices are made up and your lives don’t matter.

      I did see somewhere else that authorities asked citizens in this situation to report it, but I don’t remember where and doubt that it would be easy to do so (and/or prove).
