Extending Price Gouging Protections for Housing

53-B.

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Effective

January 29, 2026, extend for 30 days, through and including February

27, 2026, the protections of California Penal Code Section 396,

subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), to limit price-gouging for

applicable goods and services and in the housing rental market, and in

hotels and motels, and to continue the protections of County Code, Title

8 - Consumer Protection, Business and Wage Regulations, Chapter

8.09, pursuant to Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (g). The Board

finds that this extension is necessary because of complaints of price

gouging which are continuing, and have been increasing, and that

such an extension will protect the lives, property, and/or welfare of the

residents of the County. Authorize a specified price increase of the

rental price for housing not rented and not offered for rent within one

year prior to the proclamation or declaration of emergency as defined

in Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (j)(11)(B) as follows: for the

County, increase the rental price formula for such housing from 160%

of the fair market rent established by the United States Department of

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to 200% to more accurately

reflect rental market conditions in the County. All other provisions of

Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (j)(11)(B) shall remain unchanged.
