WAYS OF rAE AsToRs.
Peculiar Rules Laid Down for Their TEN.
ants by the Great R~eal-Estate owners

ants by the Great Keal-Estate owners.
Some OF the rules by which the
tenants of the Astors are bound are
curious For instance, although they
will make almost any repairs that a
tenant suggests before the lease Is
signed, even though the repairs may
| cost more than the rental, they will
! not spend a cent on the property dur.
ing the existence Of the lease. A lady
who rented a house in Forty-tlfth
street from the Astors was told that
she could have any repairs or altera.
lions she wished, but no chandeliers.
She had the house decorated from toy
to bottom and many expensive re.
pairs made and there was not a re.
moastrance, but she had to supply all
the chandeliers, at a cost of 81, 600,
herself. OF course they remain heI
property, and she can take them away
when she moves.
A curious incident is related BY
another tenant In Forty-fourth street.
She leased a house at a rental OF
So, 900 for one year. When she camO
to renew the lease for another year
she was informed that the rent would
be only 81, 800. She was told by
somebody who pretended to know
that the reduction was due to a de.
terioration in the value of the rropa
erty, and that the Astors did not
want more than a certain interest on
1t. That, however, was not true, as
was learned upon inquiry at tho
office Of the Aston estates. The clerks
there said that the reduction was due
simply to the fact that during the
first year they had charged a per,
centage for repairs and changes. AS
none was required the second year
the percentage was taken of. Never
theless, it remains the fact that the
reduction was voluntary and to the
tenant unexpected.
