"SF home where landlord allegedly murdered his tenant rents for $6,300
Ajudge blocked the sale. but nothing stopped the faamily of an accused killer from trying to rent out the scene of the crime.
This Outer Sunset rental listing has it all, with a price tag to match: three bedrooms, natural light, a garage, and a backyard for $6,300 a month.
The only problem? The landlord allegedly shot and killed the previous tenant.Philippe Chagniot, a 68-year-old retired dentist, allegedly murdered Eric Bigone, 58, on May 17 in front of the home at 2518 46th Ave.
Prosecutors say Chagniot — who has been charged with murder — lit a fire atop Bigone’s car; when Bigone went to investigate, Chagniot shot him twice from behind with a suppressed MAC-10 submachine gun. Chagniot remains in custody.
The home remains owned by the Chagniot 2007 Family Trust, whose beneficiaries include Phillipe and his wife, Barbara Chagniot.
Bigone’s son Dino alleges in a wrongful death lawsuit that Chagniot killed his father to clear the home for sale. A San Francisco judge has barred the sale while the case plays out. Still, that hasn’t stopped the family from attempting to rent it out."

#Landlords gouge victims of #LAFires
by Judd Legum and Noel Sims, Jan 14, 2025
"The devastating fires in Los Angeles have killed 24 people. The fires have burned tens of thousands of acres, and hundreds of thousands of #Angelenos have been forced to evacuate. The blaze has destroyed at least 12,000 structures and thousands of people have nowhere to live.
"For most people, this is a horrific tragedy. But numerous landlords in the area are treating it as a #MoneyMaking opportunity.
"A review of rental listings revealed dozens of properties where the landlords have sharply increased their prices since the fires began on January 7. Popular Information used Zillow to identify rental homes in communities near the areas impacted by the fires — including #PacificPalisades, #SantaMonica, #ManhattanBeach, #HuntingtonBeach, and the #SanFernandoValley — that have increased their asking price over the last week.
"While not every rent increase is evidence of #exploitation, the timing and scale of many increases strongly suggest #PriceGouging is occurring.
"In Manhattan Beach, for example, Popular Information identified a five-bedroom home listed on December 31, 2024, for $8,750 per month. By Monday, the rent was bumped up 125 percent to $19,750 monthly.
"But it is not only luxury properties with ocean views whose prices have skyrocketed in the last week.
"A three-bedroom home in #Tujunga, listed for $4,100 on December 28, was increased to $8,500 on January 7, the day the Pacific Palisades fire broke out, 93 percent higher than its initial listing price."

The demands of the renter's syndicates in Catalonia:
- lower rents by 50%
- convert the contracts in indefinite
- recover empty, tourist and temporal apartments for housing
- prohibit speculation, buying multiple homes without living in them.🔥
(to be clear: these are the public demands. Of course the syndicates have more detailed and realist proposals. But we have to try, no?)
