*In Case You Missed It*

*Report Suspected Price Gouging*

price gouging [ [link removed] ]

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors signed a declaration of local emergency [ [link removed] ] on August 20, 2023, as Tropical Storm Hilary made its way through Southern California. The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) advises business owners and operators of hotels and other lodging that they must stay in compliance with state [ [link removed] ] and Los Angeles County [ [link removed] ] laws which protect consumers from price gouging [ [link removed] ]. Price gouging during a state of emergency is also illegal under Penal Code Section 396 [ [link removed] ].

In most circumstances, businesses may not increase the price of goods and services more than 10 percent for consumers impacted by an emergency. This prohibition also applies to hotel and motel rooms, rental housing, and short-term rentals. This price-gouging protection is currently in effect across *all of Los Angeles County*, not just the areas immediately impacted by Tropical Storm Hilary.

If you believe you have been improperly overcharged for goods, services, or housing, keep your records and receipts, and file a price gouging complaint using DCBA’s “Stop Price Gouging” online reporting tool. You can visit stoppricegouging.dcba.lacounty.gov [ [link removed] ] to get started. There, you can pinpoint the location of the incident and upload documents directly to DCBA’s investigators for follow-up. You can also reach DCBA by phone at *(800) 593-8222*.
