Owner Denied Right
To Retake Apartment
For Use by |n-Laws
Landlord Must Prove
Specific Personal Need
Judge CIogett Rules

A landlord seeking to gain re-
possession of property from a ten
ant for personal use may be denied
the property If it is found it is to
be used by in-laws, Judge Brice
Clagett of Municipal Court has
ruled, the Office of the District rent
administrator announced today.
The jurist's ruling was made in a
recent hearing in the civil division
of Municipal Court when he dis
missed case brought by Mrs Eliza
beth Hagmuller of All Quincy street
NV, who sought to gain possession
Of a second-floor apartment she
owned at 1906 Kilbourne street NV.
An official of the rent administra-
ton said the decision had been made
public in order to clarity certain
points of the District Rent Control
Act for landlords who might seek
to dispossess tenants on the grounds
of other than specifically personal
use' of property.
Housing accommodations in the
District of Columbia have become
critical Judge Clagett declared in
his decision. Day after day in the
landlord and tenant branch of this
court I hear cases involving people
who, if they are dispossessed of their
present living quarters, literally can
find no place to go.
SaIIr1or ao,,lit;o,,e
obvious intent of the Rent-Control
Act not to make mere questions of
convenience or profit reasons for
dispossessing those now in possession
OF housing accommodations"
The plaintiff, the rent admins
tration office explained today, sought
to return to the Kilbourne street
address which she and her family
occupied before last June on the
grounds that she needed additional
room for her daughter and in-laWs
who were to take care of her. Mrs.
Hagmuller is rs and in Ill health,
the Office said.
The apartment sought has been
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. George
E. Reid and one child since Sep
tember Is, 1910, the rent office said
Rental for the five-room apartment
recently was raised from $54 to s57
a month with approval of the rent
administrator.
Judge Clagett further asserted in
his ruling that landlords "in such
cases must do more than prove
that they intend to move into dis
puted premises" but must 20 fur
ther and establish their good faith
in so doing"
He said it was his opinion that
the plaintiff failed to show that
she sought "in good faith to re-
cover possession Of this property for
their immediate and personal use
and occupancy as a dwelling"
1t was stressed that Mrs. Hag-
muller's daughter, Mrs. Earl o
Wilson; Mr.. Wilson and their two
children already have place in
which to live.
