As thousands of Southern Californians flee the wildfires in search of temporary shelter, a hotel room is becoming the most valuable commodity — and industry representatives say many are available — at rates limited by state law.
Alert visitors should remember that state law prohibits businesses from raising rates at hotels, motels and other short-term rental properties by more than 10% for 30 days after a local or state agency declares a state of emergency.
The same law also prohibits price increases for fuel, transportation, food, emergency supplies, medical supplies and construction materials. Legal penalties can include a year in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to hotel association statistics, there are 412 hotels in the city of Los Angeles, 1,305 in the region. For the first 10 months of 2024, the city’s hotels posted average daily rates of about $205, with 75% occupancy — but January, industry veterans say, is usually one of the slowest months of the year.
That monthly cap on hotel prices is a big difference from business as usual at big hotels, which tend to adjust prices daily according to demand, with prices rising as vacancies dwindle. The state of emergency means that hotels must stick to the rates they were charging before the state of emergency was declared.
