Emergency rent-cap expansion now on the governor’s desk
California legislation that would expand the state’s emergency rent restrictions to long-term leases and change how businesses defend certain price increases has cleared the Legislature and is now on the governor’s desk. SB 1365, by Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, would amend Penal Code Section 396, California’s price-gouging law. The Senate concurred in Assembly amendments on a 27-10 vote Aug. 31 and ordered the measure enrolled.
