📢 Landlords, are you prepared for California’s price gouging laws during emergencies? 🏠🔥
CRITICAL UPDATE – As with many laws, this topic is evolving. On February 4, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-17-25, which modifies California’s price gouging protections and changes two key topics in the article below: 1) “Housing” now applies to leases of ANY duration, not just under 12-months; and 2) various zip codes are now exempt from the HUD calculations. Read our updated article here: https://lucas-real-estate.com/february-2025-executive-order-on-price-gouging/ (article on updates to price gouging laws) and ensure to consult with legal counsel before proceeding on any aspect as these laws continue to evolve and additional aspects that continue to change over time may not be updated on this blog.
This video was recorded as part of a presentation given by Devin Lucas on January 29, 2025, to a group of realtors. The session provides a detailed review of price gouging protections and how they apply to rental housing in Orange County, including analysis, real-world examples, and expert tips.
