SEEK LONGER LEASES TO
SUBLET APARTMENTS
Twenty Out Of Tventy.nine Occu-
pants of One Building Denied
By Owner.

Requests of twenty out of a total Of
about twenty-nine occupants Of apart
ments in New Hampshire avenue
apartment house for extensions OF
leases and permission to sublet have
resulted in notice being issued by the
owner of the building that no tenants
will be permitted to sublet their apart
ments under any circumstances.
Several months ago. the owner of the
building today said, occupants OF
apartments began asking for extern
sions Of their leases and for permis-
sion TO suitcase their apartments The
requests became SO numerous that the
owner Of the building started inquiries
as to the reasons.
One of his tenants. he stated, asked
for an extension of his lease for an
extra year. He learned that the tenant
had been offered a price of more than
s10o a month by recent arrival in the
city, who desired to lease the apart
ment furnished. The original tenant
pays s35 a month for the apartment.
The owner of the building refused the
request and adopted the rule of grant
ing no extensions of leases and refus-
ing permission to sublet.

Lease for Sis Monthly.

Occupants of small apartment in

tenants saying they did not care to
subIet at any price. The applicant in
creased the offer from day to day until
the original tenants finally subleased
for Sis month. though informing the
newcomer they were not anxious to sub
let even at that price.
In still another case the occupant of
an apartment received a fiat offer of
$500 month for his apartment fur
nished. the applicant saying he must
have possession within less than q week.
The original occupant after some search
found house which he leased for $175
a month and moved out of his apart
ment the offer being too tempting to
refuse
Evening star., 1918-02-15
Leasing Was Voluntary.

In none of these instances did the
owner or agent of the apartment have
anything whatever to do with subletting
the furnished apartments or with fixing
price for them. The offers were vol
UNFAIRLY made by newcomers to Wash
ington. whose means permitted them to
offer apparently eNorbitant prices to OBJ
tain living accommodations at once.
