The agent allegedly offered a Glendale home to a family displaced by the Eaton Fire for more than 50% above the listed rent. She denies the allegations.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed new price-gouging charges against a real estate agent accused of trying to rent a Glendale home for more than 50% above the property’s listed rent after fires destroyed thousands of homes in Los Angeles.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta announced charges against a La Cañada Flintridge real estate agent for allegedly raising the price of his rental by 38% after L.A.'s wildfires.

Here’s what “The Rent Brigade” found after combing through 1,343 Zillow posts that appear to have broken California’s ban on post-fire price gouging.

During a state of emergency, most landlords can only raise rents by 10%. Members of the LA Tenants Union have compiled a spreadsheet of well over 1,000 listings they say exceed the 10% threshold. Irani said for her, it was a way to help fire victims.

A real estate agent in La Cañada is the first person to be charged with price gouging after the Los Angeles fires.

Attorney General Rob Bonta said he would go after alleged rent gougers, and this week his office filed its first case. The agent strongly denies breaking the law.

Tenant advocacy groups, landlord associations and elected officials are condemning rent gouging after tens of thousands of people were displaced in deadly fires this month.

The realtor denied the accusation, and said the home was rented to a family affected by the wildfires at a lower price.

The City of Tulare has responded to the lawsuit from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, saying the state refused to meet with the city after requests last year.

Some landlords are hiking prices beyond the 10% the law allows. Some listings have increased thousands of dollars a month.

The attorney general pressed charges against a second real estate agent this week over alleged price gouging in the wake of the LA fires.
