The Land of Topsy Turvy
TENANT SUPREME IN YUCATAN;
LAW FORCES PER CENT RENT
BY FRED @. NEUMEIER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, (By mail
to United Press).-Tenants reign
supreme in Yucatan, the Land of
Topsy Turvy.
The laws of this Socialist state of
Mexico are all in favor Of the tenant
and the landlord must bow to the
desires of the tenant.
There are no problems of high
rentals or diepossessing.
Under the laws, rental of houses
for habitation, commerce, theaters,
places of amusement and for pur.
poses of charity is declared to be
of public interest.
AS long as the tenant pays his
rent. he may rs often as he desires
prolong his present contract. This
right, however, can only be exercis-
cd by the tenant.
4 tenant can be disposed when he
has not paid the rental for four
months, where he has deliberately
injured the buildings, where he has
violated the contract with respect
to the use Of tho house, when the
contract is terminated, or when the
owner can prove that the house is
the only one that he has and that
he needs it for himself for his own
living.
Rental of houses cannot exceed

seven percent annually of the as
sessed valuation of the house for
taxation purposes. This 7 per cent
includes all taxes to be paid. il
the owner refuses to accept tins
payment, the renter can pay the
rent to the treasury of the state.
The payment OF deposits or bonds
in connection with rental contracts
is strictly prohibited. 1t is also pro-
hibited for the tenant to pay any
bonus whatsoever besides the rental
stablished by law.
The law also provides that in
renting q house the rental contract
must be accompanied by n cert-fi-
cate showing the assessed valuation
of the property and also that Tho
taxes have been paid to date.
All repairs to keep the house in n
habitat condition must be paid by
the owner.
Landlords must keep their houses
occupied and the law provides that
any landlord who keeps his house
unoccupied, even though covered by
a contract will be fined the equiv.
