CURLING RENT PRoFlrEERs.
Bills For This Purpose Are Proposed
BY Brazil SoIons.

BY Brazil Solons.
Buenos Aires, June 5.-rBy The
Associated Press. Rent profiteer-
ing in Buenos Aires, which In the
opinion of many travelled visitors,
YIELDS to no city in the world In the
measure of the excuses 1t has reach
ed, will soon be curbed IL certain bills
about to be introduced into Congress
meet success.
The most radical Of these measures
limits the rent Of houses to the equi-
valent Of about $1,000 United States
money. Rents at twice this rate are
not uncommon for the ordinary one
story house with which Buenos Aires
abounds, rates of year ago having
been in some instances trebled. Ac.
cording to the author Of the meas
ure, Deputy Tamborini, rents in Bue-
nos Aires now average forty per cent
Of a family's domestic budget.
The bill also provides that an own
er shall not collect from any proper
ty a rent in excess Of eight per cent
Of its assessed valuation. Landlorde
cannot transfer their contracts for
rent without consent Of the tenants,
nor can they evict tenant on the
ground that he has violated some
municipal ordinance, except by court
order. Such excuses have been en-
ployed by landlords against tenants
refusing to pay higher rent. Jail
penalties are provided for violation
OF any Of the provisions Of the pro-
posed law.
There has been but an insignificant
amount Of building In Buenos Aires
since the beginning Of the war. On
ly within the last few months has it
been resumed and Is on q small
scale compared with the building
