Landlords Advised Not
To ReneaU Lou Leases
Untermyer Promises Early Prep
arotion Of Opinion against
10 Per Cent Basis Ruling

There Is strong likelihood that rent
contests between landlord and tenant
will crowd the court calendars within
the next few days. With the announce
ment by the Lockwood legislative COM
mittee investigating housing that Sam
uel Untermyer, it's chief counsel, will
contest the 10 per cent return on value
of property ruling of the Appellate Term
in Brooklyns comes the advice of Stew
art Browne to property owners to re-
fuse to renew leases on low terms.
Mr.. Brownies advice to the landlords
was contained in a notice sent out yes
terday.
Landlords who have leases expiring
October l at very low rentals" the no.
tice read, "are advised to notify ten
ants that their lease won't be renewed,
and that if they hold over they do sc as
month to month tenants"
If this plan should be taken UP by
landlords, it was said yesterday, ten
ants would have constantly over their
heads the danger of having to seek
other quarters at almost any time, or
else be made to pay higher rents to
save themselves the trouble Of moving
or of contesting. 1t also would per
nit landlords to take immediate adj
vantage Of any favorable turn in a
court proceeding CHdt nnlSHt establish
new ruling under the rent laws.
Mr.. Untermyer said yesterday that
the opinion which the Lockwood COM
nittee has asked him to prepare for it
on the 10 per cent return ruling would
be ready in plenty of time to advise
tenants as to their proper course. The
ruling of the Appellate Term in Brook
lyn on the point was that landlord
was entitled to this return upon the
total value of the property involved
This rate of return the Lockwood COM
mittee will contest.
Should the opinion not be ready by
October I, it was said that the COM
mittee, between October I and the time
it's definite course of action was
adopted, would advise all tenants to
contest increases Of rent
