ASK RENT Law CHANGES
TO FAVOR LANDLCR RrS
Real Estate InUesfors Will
Prepare Amendments.

The Real Estate Investors of New
York. corporation composed OF realty
owners and brokers. received yesterday
a report from a committee OF its men,
bers recommending certain changes In
the present housing or rent laws. The
report will be placed in the hands of a
n ember of the Legislature for embodi-
ment in a bill which he will be asked to
offer as an amendment TO the existing
laws.
II is the Judgment of tho Real Estate
Investors that the present laws do not
give a landlord sufficient control over
his property and thus prevent the con-
structfon of new buildings. The hous-
ing law amendment as offered BY them
proposes:
That the existing sections of the laws
protecting in his occupancy the tenant
whose lease has run out be changed so
as not to apply TO apartment hotels;
that It be made possible to evict obtec-
tionable tenants; that long term tenants
be made TO submit to releases at rates
reasonable to landlords at the expira-
ton OF terms, and that rent money In
disputed cases. which Is now paid into
court, be paid to landlords.
