whether l should offer IS per cent. Of
S27 or Of $29?
.Answsr-oRer 25 per cent OF $40.
CONSTANT READER-My rent on
Jan. 1, 1880. was increased from $40
TO $50. l have been informed that on
oct. l, 1920, II will be increased TO $40
and that on July 1 l will be asked TO
sign a lease for that amount. How
should act in this matter7
Answsr-The law presumes the In
crease to be unjust and oppressive.
Refuse TO sign the lease, II you wish.
That II your right. Let the case 60
to court and there be adjusted on the
basis OF your landlords expenses.
N. U. My rent March /. 1918.

raised to SIS; on July 1 It was raised
to tl4; Nov. it reached $3.50, and
on June il will be S19.3s. would
like to know what to do?
Answer-The law presumes the 70 ~
increase to be unjust and oppressive
because you have been raised more
than rs per cent OF what you paid a
year ago. REFUSE TO pay It and allow
the case 20 be adjusted in court on
the basis of the landlords expenses.
! N. d. am a janitress, paying part

z. Why lease expires on Oct.
and the landlord wishes to raise me
from 80 TO $50 month, which Is
greatly in excess Of the 70 per cent.
allowed by law. Am I compelled to
renew my lease, or can ! have re-
course to the rs per cent. law? My
apartment consists of two small
rooms, one kitchenette and a bath.
Therefore. $50 seems exorbitant for
such small quarters. During my Ave
years occupancy the rooms have been
papered and painted twice. What
eau I do?
Answsr-Refuse to sign the new
lease, because the increase does seem
eHorbitant for that aize apa rtment.
Remain where you are and when the
landlord brings you into court on
holdover proceedings plead tho in
justice OF the rental he il trying 20
force upon YOU and it IL most likely
YOU will get a considerable rNsduc-
ton on the increase. You can COM
pel him TO produce his expense books
20 show the increase is Just.
J. Son April I, 1920, my rent was
increase from $50 TO 81 ga month.
Now the house has been sold, can the
new landlord raise my rent?
Answer; The law presumes an In
crease OF more than IS per cent. in a
year to be oppressive and unjust. II
YOU paid $50 a year ago, the law
would presume any other increase
unjust. However, " the new land
lord can prove his expenses justify
him in asking more, the court will
allow il.
r. L. MI am about 10 move into

year ago. II was raised to SIS some
time ago and now for me 1t is put up
TO S22. What is your opinion OF this /?
Answer; The landlord has the right
