Let’s bring you a bit more about reports of price gouging by landlords in Los Angeles, which we reported on earlier.
Speaking a little earlier on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Jason Oppenheim, a real estate agent in Los Angeles, says some landlords are breaking the law by raising rents more than 10% high than pre-disaster prices.
“We’re having landlords taking advantage of the situation,” says Oppenheim, who stars in the reality show Selling Sunset about LA’s luxury real estate market.

“There are thousands of people who are displaced…the hotels are overwhelmed,” he says.
Oppenheim says he sent a client to a rental property which was listed for $13,000 (?11,000) a month. “(My client) offered $20,000 (?16,400) a month and he offered to pay six months upfront and the landlord said ‘no, I want $23,000 (?19,000) a month’,” he says.
“There are price gouging laws in California, they are just being ignored right now…it’s illegal to take advantage of a natural disaster.”
