Rent rose by 20 percent across L.A. County after fires. That’s illegal. Rent for single-family homes across Los Angeles County rose by almost 25 percent, and even more in certain areas, according to a Washington Post analysis.

"Rent spiked by 20 percent in Los Angeles County after wildfires ravaged the area, according to a Washington Post analysis of listings data from RentCast, a property analytics service, raising alarms of price gouging in the midst of a housing crisis."
