Selling Sunset’s Jason says landlords price gouging over LA fires
ShareShareShareShareShare

Oppenheim said his business was offering its services for free and had received dozens of calls from people who had lost homes.

Speaking on BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, he described sending a client to visit a property where the landlord had previously been asking for $13,000 per month in rent.

“[My client] offered $20,000 a month and he offered to pay six months upfront and the landlord said ‘I want $23,000’,” he said.

“There are price gouging laws in California, they’re just being ignored right now, and this isn’t the time to be taking advantage of situations.”

The 47-year-old added that the disaster had been “emotional for everyone”.

He said: “Everyone has tears in their eyes all day long, literally from the smoke but also just because it’s emotional to see people struggling like this.”

California authorities have warned businesses against illegally hiking the price of items more than 10% above their pre-disaster cost.

On Saturday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta also said he had seen landlords raising prices illegally.

“You cannot do it. It is a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and fines,” he said.

“This is California law [and] it’s in place to protect those suffering from a tragedy.”
