splans are honest. 1t might be we'll, said
Mr.. Wilson, for landlords who offer
cooperation az their reason FOR wanting
apartments. 10 remember that their ex-
cuse will not be accepted unless the
houses in question have been entirely
sold on the cooperative plan.
Owners who claim apartments be-
cause they want them for them selves
had better carry through their excuse
0, they may have to explain to the Dis
trict Attorney Attention of the chief
counsellor was called yesterday to a
number Of owners who had been given
apartments for their own use, but who
have them in the market for rent. The
District Attorney of Brooklyn has two
cases which came up yesterday. One
owner had forced an Italian to move,
claiming he wanted to occupy the apart
ment. The Italian came to Mr. Wilson
yesterday with an advertisement show
ing that the apartment was in the mar
ket for rent. The Mayors committee
plans to stop this evil, and the courts
will be informed Of the various tricks
of dishonest landlords.
Retrenchment Recognized by Committee
The great shortage is in apartme nts
that rent for less than $4,000 a year
The committee has recognized the fact
that retrenchment is the order of the
day in all sections of the world. and
is allowing fewer increases. 1t has
been the custom TO figure at least 10
per cent on the asset value of property
in arriving at the income due the
owner In view of the reductions that
have been made in the income of wage
earners the committee now figures 8
per cent on the asset value when the
equity is large.
The cases now before the committee
are chiefly evictions The committee,
Mr. Wilson intimated. is opposed to re-
Inovals unless justified.
Many rent increases are asked for &C
cordng to the hearing being held by
the committee. Some of these are JUS
titled. others are not. Some land lords,
Mr.. Wilson explained. are asking for
increases in sections where New York =
labor army lives. Such increases are
hard to grant, and, if granted. will be
hard to collect for the reason that labor
is not earning as much as formerly
Owners of property in these sections
seem TO have overlooked the change
that has come in the commercial fields
ard forget that the man evicted is nc
less able to pay the increase demanded
than the next man. The consequence
is that the apartment remains unoccu-
! pied for long time.

Apartment Dwelers Show Little Tremor
AS Fall Renting Season Approaches

Tension n the rent situation this>:
all will not be so high as it was last
an Junius Pendletor Wilson, chief
.ounsel 10 the Mayors Committee on
p.nt Profsteering, who has listened to
* 900 rent cases IN the last few years,
s.vs that she mental state of rent
r.vers is more calm at this time than
aur;ng sny pre-fall renting season for
several years. People seem to have
better idea Of the right OF landlord
and tenant They realize now The
nrosec,ion provided by the antl-proht-
.sr;ny legislation. and also that the
usvor's committee is ready to defeat
snv attempt that may be made to de-
vrive them OF their homes or charge
rep.s beyond what conditions warrant
Although there is an absence of
,snjc in the ranks of rentpayers. Mr.
wilson says this does not mean that
,partments are so plentiful that peo-
,le need not worry about where they
are to spend the fall and winter. The
shortage is still serious, he said.
though Il IS not acute. or rather as
seute as II was last fall. He init
mates that psychology had something
70 do with the rent situation last fall,
because the people worked themselves
into a state of terror over the idea
that they might be evfcted or their
rent jumped way beyond what they
could afford to pay.
Building in Suburbs Has Helped
Home building in other boroughs
and in the metropolitan suburbs has
relieved the situation here little.
Mr.. Wilson said there has been
slight decrease III the number Of cases
which have come before the committee
What will happen between now and the
end o. September will tell whether the
warfare between tenant and landlord
is as great as it was last year, or the
year before that.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the belief that
there would be comparatively few evic-
tons this fall A number of owners
have served removal notices on tenants,
claiming the apartments arc wanted by
the owners for their own use, or that the
buildings have been sold to cooperative
tenants, or that the structures are to be
removed to make way for new buildings.
