RENT LAWS LEAVE
REPAIRS OPTIONAL
Owners Not Bound Under
Strict Interpretation, Says
Board President.

Strict Interpretation Of District OF
Columbia laws pertaining TO landlord
and tenant obligations relieves the prop
erty owner from the obligation OF MAX
ing repairs to rental property. except
by specific contract. according to
statement made by Charles S. Shreve.
president Of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board. before members OF the
Y NJ. c. A. real estate class at this
weeks session.
while it is generally customary in
the District for owners to attend TO
repairs Of rental properties" Mr. Shreve
pointed out. ''the law. strictly speak
ing, does not compel them TO do so.
However, there is difference laid down
with respect to apartment houses, where
it has been held that the owner is
obligated to attend to such repairs as
affect all tenants alike. such as heat
ing, lightning and plumbing systems.
Traces History of LAW.
Mr.. Shreve traced the history of
landlord and tenant law from the early
English common-law period to the pres
ent day. AT first. he said. tenancy was
divided into three classes in iaw-as
estates by the year. estates by the
IDOntn anu tstdltS ny ai' VI
der these three classifications the per-
manency of the tenant is determined.
II was pointed out that under the
operation of the present rental legis-
lation known as the Ball rent law, IL
was extremely necessary in actions 10
recover possession that notices be pre-
pared in conformity with the rulings
of the rent commission. II was shown
that under certain conditions owners
were entitled to have possession Of their
rental property when they needed such
property for their own occupancy and
for one or two other causes mentioned
in the law.
Preparation Of Lease.
The lease or rental contract which
is the basis of landlord and tenant rela-
tions Mr.. Shreve stated. should be very
carefully prepared to embrace all the
terms and conditions OF the lease in
order to avoid subsequent misunder-
standings. In the actual preparation
of the lease 1t is important that the
signatures of both the landlord and ten
ant be secured and the contract prop
erly dated.
Because of the many legal phases
of rental business. Mr.. Shreve stated
that 1t was one of the most important
branches Of real estate work and re-
quired experience and knowledge to
properly protect the interests Of clients.

A plan for simplifying and stand
ardizing legal instruments and con-
tracts used in real estate transactions

duct Of world business on cerdit in

by United States Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska in an address today before
the American Manufacturers Export
association here.
Senator Hitchcock discussed bill
which he has introduced in the SEN
ate providing for establishing such a
bank of nations with s2,400,0o0,000
capital. The United States he said,
would hold s1,s0O,O0o,oo0 of the stock
and bankers, importers and exporters
OF this country another $200,000,00O
leaving the remaining ss00,00o,000 to
be purchased by the leading nations
Of the world through the president.
The United States, by virtue of it's
stockholders, would choose 13 Of the
banks "a directors. Headquarters
would be at New York. The direc-
tors would have power to issue cur

dollar, which would eliminate the
continued shipment of gold between
countries, according to Senator Hitch
cocks plan.
