people who have determined to own a
residence rather than pay rent. These
transactions are In the Murray Hin Sec
ton and In the upper nfties. Negotia-
lions are also under way in the tiers OF
streets in the sixties. seventies. eighties
and nineties.
The limit OF rent increases has not
been reached. Higher rents must be OBJ
tained by owners to overcome operating
costs. Rents have been rising for the
last two years. People who have been
occupying apartments under two, three
and five year leases are now confronted
by the accumulated increases, which
have been at the rate of 10 per cent
year and amount to 80 per cent on a
three year lease. A tenant who has
been paying from $4,000 to $4,000
year for the last three years will have
TO pay about $1,000 additional per year
under the new lease.
The tenant protests to US that his
means have not increased in proportion
and he cannot pay Si.5u0 year in
rent. He demands TO know what re is
TO do: he is sorry. but he cannot stand
the increase. He asks the agent 10 look
around and try 10 locate something else.
Some take smaller apartments, while
others want TO know what they can do
in house. The have the idea that a
house is cheaper than an apartment at
$4,000.

cheap as compared to an up to date
