This weekend, a fire at an apartment complex in San Bernardino left seven people without a place to live.

Officials said the cause of the fire is undetermined.

It came to my attention because the buildings are part of a vast rental empire I wrote about in an investigation we published last week: Deceit, Disrepair and Death Inside a Southern California Rental Empire.
