- Eaton Fire victims sue landlords over rental gouging
An Altadena family is suing their former landlords, Terrence and Catalina Chow, for allegedly charging nearly three times the legal maximum rent after the Eaton Fire. The lawsuit claims the landlords collected illegal rent for 10 months despite warnings from authorities, with the family forced to pay $15,000 monthly instead of the lawful $5,032.50. The case seeks restitution, damages, and penalties, highlighting widespread rental price gouging post-wildfires.
