Attorney General Bonta Files Charges Against Los Angeles Real Estate Agent, Landlord for Price Gouging in Wake of Eaton Fire
In addition, DOJ has sent more than 700 price gouging warning letters to hotels and landlords LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced the filing of charges against a Southern California real estate agent and a landlord for price gouging a victim who was evacuated due to the Eaton Fire. This investigation began when a complaint was filed with the California Department of Justice (DOJ) after the victim took steps to rent a Hermosa Beach home after the Governor’s Emergency Order, which protects against price gouging, went into effect.
