Tenant advocacy groups, landlord associations and elected officials are condemning rent gouging after tens of thousands of people were displaced in deadly fires this month

Some landlords lowered rents after MarketWatch asked about increases that appeared to violate laws against price gouging.

First came the fires. Then, there was ash and contaminated water. Now, some survivors of the Southern California wildfires are dealing with outbreaks of norovirus and other stomach ailments at a shelter set up to help evacuees.

Three people have tested positive for norovirus amid a cluster of 28, the Pasadena Public Health Department said on Friday.

Illness typically lasts for one to three days but people can still be contagious after their symptoms have subsided.

People affected by the California wildfires may qualify for immediate federal financial assistance to help pay for necessities.

There are many victims recovering from the wildfires in California, and you have a chance to help those in need. The American Red Cross has established a microsite to specifically benefit victims of the Los Angeles fires.
