La ley californiana contra los precios abusivos tiene por objeto proteger a los inquilinos de los precios abusivos durante las emergencias declaradas a nivel federal, estatal, de condado y municipal. Promulgada en la sección 396 del Código Penal, la ley entra en vigor automáticamente durante treinta (30) días, a menos que se prorrogue tras una declaración de emergencia, limitando en gran medida los aumentos de precios de materiales, bienes y servicios, incluidos los listados de alquiler residencial y el alquiler. Código Penal de California, sección 396(f). Reconociendo que las situaciones de emergencia pueden crear condiciones de alquiler injustamente favorables a los propietarios, el legislador de California pretende proteger a los inquilinos de cualquier propietario sin escrúpulos que aumente drásticamente el alquiler en medio de una situación de emergencia, ya que la oferta puede verse limitada o la demanda aumentada.
El Código Penal de California logra este objetivo limitando los aumentos de alquiler por encima del diez por ciento (10%) durante treinta (30) días, a menos que se prorrogue más, tras la proclamación de un estado de emergencia declarado por el Presidente de los Estados Unidos, o por el Gobernador de California, o tras la declaración de una emergencia local por un funcionario, junta, u otro órgano del gobierno. Código Penal de California, sección 396(e). Esta limitación a los aumentos de alquiler también se aplica a los anuncios de alquiler de viviendas y a las ofertas verbales o escritas de alquiler de una unidad, realizadas a un posible inquilino de forma privada. Id. (Sí, los listados de alquileres no pueden aumentarse durante treinta (30) días tras la declaración del estado de emergencia). Sin embargo, la ley permite un precio de alquiler mayor cuando el propietario demuestra que el aumento es directamente atribuible a los costos de reparación o mantenimiento más allá de lo normal amortizados a lo largo del plazo de alquiler que requieren un aumento mayor, o que el inquilino aceptó el aumento antes de la declaración del estado de emergencia. Id. En caso contrario, deberán atenerse a la limitación prevista en el artículo 396 del Código Penal respecto de los aumentos de alquiler.
