diter had approved a genera) in
crease in the rent level in a Rent
Area or. portion of an area in
response to a recommendation of
a local Rent Advisory Board.
Tenants who have not signed vol
untary lease increases are; protect
ed for the life of the Housing and
Rent Act of 1948, through March
31,1949, according to Benningfield.
Leases Increasing Rent
Tenants who signed leases on or
before last December 31 agreeing
to an increase in rent up to 15 per
cent are protected by those leases
which must run at least through
December 31, 1948, and if they ex
pire befote March 31, 1949, the new
Law protects them through the lat
ter date, i c ■ ‘ j M
The new law gives landlords the
right to enter into new lease agree
ments with tenants, provided they
are. valid written leases; entered
info voluntarily and in good faith
on or before December 31t 1948,
they expire on or after Decem
ber 31, 1949, at a maximum rent
which is no more than 15 per cent
above what the ceiling would have
been in the absence of a lease on
March 30, 1I948-—the day the new
law was enacted. A copy of such;
lease must be filed within-15 days
after execution with v the local rent
office.
Housing accommodations for
which a lease t^jWrease rents
under the Housing^and Rent Act
of 1947 was terminated between
January 1, 1948, and March SO,
1948, (the (late the new law was
enacted) are no longer subject to
rent controls.
However, for any housing accom
modations on wh ; ch a lease termi
nates after March 30, 1948, and be
fore March ft, 1949, the property
will revert to rent control. Land-
’ords ;must file a report With thfe
’ocal rent office if any lease is
formicated.
- The law contains the provision
that the Housing Expediter shall
make such adjustments inimajKi-
mum rents as may be necessary
to remove hardships or to correct
inequities. This applies not only
to individual adjustments but
also fo Defense Rental Areas;,
portions of areas, and any classes
of housing accommodations
within such areas: >
The new rent regulations contin-
’e to list several different grounds.
nder which Area ROnt Directors
n-e authorized to make individual
djustraents. in accordance with the
eew law. The regulations; provide
hat in making hardship adjust
ments, “due weight shall be given
o the question as to whether or
lot the landlord is suffering a loss
; n the operations of the housing ac-
’ommodation^.”
Local Rent Advisory Boards

’aw for . local Advisory Boards to

"adequate and substantial evi
