HOUSE MEMBER HIT
IN NEW RENT RAISE
Fashionable Rochambeau, Far
ragut, and Portsmouth Call
For Higher Rates.

Tenants Of three more fashion
able apartment houses have been
hit by increases in rent, effective
October /. The apartments are;
The Rochambeau. S15 Connecticut
avenue northwest: the Farragut,
300 Seventeenth street northwest,
and the Portsmouth, 1925 New
Hampshire avenue northwest.
Several members of Congress who
have made their homes in these
apartments for a number of years,
are greatly concerned over the in.
creases demanded, and the Rent
Commission will be asked to step
In.
One Congressman, who has made
his home at the Rochambeau for
the past ten years, was sent a new
lease which carried a rental of Sl25
monthly instead of the 500 he has
paid during the past year. Ten
years ago he paid $50 a month
This has been raised from time
to time.
Francis H. Duehay, owner OF
the three apartments in question
announced today that none Of the
tenants had moved yet and he does
not expect them to leave because
Of higher rentals.
I'VE have been extremely liberal
In the matter of rents during the
period of shortage of apartments, -
Mr.. Duehay said. 1T has reached
that point where we were forced
to raise rents to make a reasonable
profit on the business.
IF the tenants don't like the new
rates, they can go elsewhere. There
are new apartment houses going up
all over the city. They should
have no trouble in getting other
quarters"
Mr.. Duehay claims that the rents
charged at his three apartment
houses are more reasonable than
those assessed tenants of other es,
Establishments here. The rents ought
to have been raised long ago, he
says.
Each apartment was treated as O
separate case in fixing the new
rental to be charged and no definite
percentage was made for the entire
building.
I'VE feel certain that the Rent
Commission will sustain us when
the matter gets before that body"
