FALSE REGISTRATION

False registrations of rent cell.
ings, excessive rents, and evictions
without proper foundation are the
major complaints involved against
the landlords.
"The emergency price control
act under which the OPA was
set up became effective June I.
1912. Rents being paid on April
l, 1941, however, became the
ceiling, and landlords were re-
CURED to file these figures.
The law also provides that
any services provided the tenant
prior TO April, 1941, should be
furnished now without additional
charge.
IMPROVEMENTS ONLY
"If the landlord made major
capital improvements since
April, 1871, where a raise In rent
might be justified, this was al
lowed-but IL could not include
ordinary maintenance repairs or
the customary renovations which
had been periodically made In
the past"
1T Is violations of these pro-
visions which we have found 90
