California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Monday a Los Angeles-area real estate agent is being charged with price-gouging, accused of trying to rent a home in Glendale for 50% more than the listing price to a family evacuated in the Eaton Fire.

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.

In the plainest of terms, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said on Thursday that the hammer will come down on those who attempt to take advantage of the victims of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Amid the deadly Los Angeles County wildfires, some landlords have decided to raise the prices of housing due to the high demand.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Thursday announced his office has opened investigations into reports of price-gouging in the Southern California areas ravaged by devastating wildfires. “We have boots on the ground conducting investigations as we speak,” he said in a Thursday press conference.
