i UnCer Lne reRulaLlOnS, landlOrQS ; must adjust their rates to conform
 to those which prevailed April 1,
 194l. Tenants cannot be evicted ex- cept under special circumstances.
 In each room rented or offered for rent, the landlord must post a sign stating the rental charged.
 Hotels and boarding houses can- not hereafter charge a combined rate for room and board. Instead
 they must make separate charges for the two. No landlord can re- quire tenant to take his meals there unless the room was rented or offered for rent on that basis on
 June Is of this year.
 MT. McDuff warns landlords af- fected by the order to comply imme- diately and to make certain that their registration statements are filed by August IS.
 General instructions covering hotels, rooming houses, etc, are as follows:
 l. Within forty-fiv days after the effective date of the maximum rent regulation for hotels and room- ing houses in the defense-rental area, every landlord of a room rented or offered for rent in hotel, rooming house, boarding house, dormitotry, residence club, tourist home or tourist cabin and of space rented in an auto camp or trailer camp must report the maximum legal rent for such room or space on the registration statement at tached hereto. The term room" as used herein means room or group of rooms rented or offered for rent as unit or, in the case of auto and trailer camps, the space and facilities ordinarily offered for 8 single rent. Any maximum rent established after the effective date of the maximum rent regulation shall be reported on this registra- ton statement or on statement filed within five days after such rent is established.
 2. Every landlord must provide services of the same type. quantity and quality as those provided on the date determining the maximum legal rent. If the landlord cannot provide such services, he must file petition with the area rent direc- tor before August 1, 1942.
 3. If a tenant pays or offers to pay the maximum legal rent for a room, he may not be evicted or re- moved from the room except as pro- vided in Section of the maximum rent regulation for hotels and room- ing houses. a copy of which may be obtained from the defense-rental area office.
 4. Every landlord must conspicu- ously display in each room rented or offered for rent card or sign plainly stating the maximum legal rent or rents for all terms of oc- cupancy and for all numbers of occupants for which the room is rented or offered for rent. Where the taking of meals by the tenant is a condition of renting the room, the card or sign shall so state. If the maximum legal rent should be changed by order of the admins tratotr, the card or sign must be altered to state the change.
 5. No tenant may be required to change his term of occupancy If that will result in the payment of a higher amount per day than the maximum legal rent for his present term of occupancy. If the room was regularly rented or offered for rent for a monthly or weekly term of occupancy on or after June IS, 1942, the landlord shall continue to offer the room for rent for that term of occupancy; provided that he may offer the room for another term of occupancy for rent which results in the payment of an amount no higher per day than the maxi mum legal rent for the discontinued term of occupancy divided by the number of days in the discontinued term.
 6. Henceforth every landlord who provides meals with rooms shall make separate charges for the two. No landlord shall require the talk ing of meals as a condition of rent ing any room unless the room was rented or offered for rent on that basis on June Is. 1942.
 2. The administrator at any time on his own initiative or on appli- eaton of a tenant may order a decrease of the maximum rent otherwise allowable on the grounds that the maximum rent is higher than the rent generally prevailing in this defense-rental area for con- parable rooms on April 1, 194l.
