As wildfires rage across California, particularly near Los Angeles, the housing market is experiencing significant strain. Firefighters continue to battle large blazes, and state officials have issued warnings about rising rental prices, which are leading to allegations of price gouging. Attorney General Bonta has filed charges against a local real estate agent for allegedly exploiting fire victims by hiking prices. Displaced residents are struggling to find housing amid soaring rents, with many facing potential homelessness. Experts warn that these disasters are exacerbating an already critical housing crisis in the region. As the demand for rentals increases, reports of abusive price hikes from landlords have surfaced, prompting both local actions against price gouging and calls for urgent assistance for those affected.
