The mayors defense housing
fact-flnding committee today sent
re o lamentations to President
Roosevelt and Price Administrator
Leon Henderson asking that houses
vacated in the vicinity of Detroit
war plants be restricted for rental
or sale to war workers.
The limits of the closed areas
would be designated by Patrick ".
Mcnamara, rent czar for the
Detroit area. According to the
recommendations, NC N a m a a
would be authorized to throw such
homes open to the general public
II not occupied by war workers
within 80 days. There shall be no
discrimination against families

A second resolution. voted by
the committee asks that houses
and apartments not occupied for
a considerable time be comman-
deered by the government for the
duration, with full compensation
given to the owners, whether from
rent or sale.
To avoid profiteering by house
owners, the recommendations ask
that the Detroit Real Estate Board
provide free appraisals to all war
workers buying such homes.
Main reason for the closed areas,
the committee explained, is the
shortage of transportation and the
need for moving workers nearer
their places of employment.
For this same reason, Williaml

Landlords Find Selves Shorn OF Power Under Rent
Ceiling Regulations; Tenants Get Privileges
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS


No longer is the landlords wish
law.
This is apparent more and more
as rent litigations are heard IN
the courtroom of Circuit Court
Commissioner Louis j. Schneider.
Since last Monday when the
federal rent ceiling regulations
went into effect. the tenant has
enjoyed new privileges.
NEW EVICTION RIGHTS
Not only is his rent frozen so
both he and the landlord are
guilty of federal violation If he
paws i'm excess of the April, 1871
rate, but he has certain new evic-
tion rights. ,
Commissioner Schneider listed
four instances in which evictions
are now authorized:
eff the owner wishes the
property for himself or his kin,
he may evict the tenant. This
Is true also if the property has
been sold and the new owner
wishes 10 occupy IL or turn IL
over TO his kin.
"a third justified eviction is
In case the property owner can
show ne II making major re-
pairs which will necessitate the
property being vacant.
CITES NUISANCE
"Finally, the fourth reason
for eviction, and the one which
believe will be the cause most
landlords will cite, comes under
the term nuisance.
