Limits on rent increases have again been triggered due to severe wildfires raging in California.  

On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, Gov. Newsom declared a state of emergency in Kern County due to the Borel Fire, further expanding the reach of the emergency measures related to the many recent wildfires now burning across the state. The Borel Fire began burning in the Sequoia National Forest last week and is one of several fires comprising the SQF Lightning Complex, which has burned close to 90,000 acres to date.
