A new Housing is Key campaign was also recently announced to further help Californians recover from the pandemic, and connects renters and landlords with important information about relief and protections under the new state law (AB 3088). The Housing is Key campaign includes a new website providing guidance and resources for landlords, tenants, and homeowners, and an overview of the new eviction framework and protections through social media toolkits, legal aid resources, and FAQ's.
Additionally, the Governor signed an executive order to help protect consumers against price gouging by prohibiting sellers of any kind from increasing prices on food, consumer goods, medical or emergency supplies, and certain other items by more than 10 percent through March 4, 2021.
