PARIS, July 2S Correspondence of The
Associated Press The struggle between
Partisan landlords, who seek to double CT
treble the income from their properties,
and tenants, who arc unable to find va.
cant apartments at any reasonable price,
has reached a deadlock.
House owners refuse 10 extend or to
advertise for rent apartments that have
been vacated. Tenants. unable to find
new quarters, refuse to move at the behest
of the landlords, while the courts have
ceased to entertain applications for writs
of expulsion, there not being enough pro-
cess servers to handle those already is
sued
Fifty thousand notices to vacate were
served on tenants for the end of the sec.
ond quarter of this year. Such notices
were received by all the tenants OF some
apartment houses, showing how generally
landlords have sought to increase rents.
The extent of the movement has provoked
the passage by the chamber of deputies
Of bill extending for two wears all yer.
bal leases made since the beginning of the
war. Leases made prior to the war al.
ready were protected by DEGREES and pre-
vious legislation
