Landlord Wants You to Move? Take it Up with OPA
Rental Director Has
Final Say On Evictions

must notify you and file copy
of the notice with OPA.
In such a case the OPA doesn't
nave anything further to do with
the matter.
If you don't believe the land
lords story Of urgency and re-
fuse to move, he'll have to go to
local court to force you out.
There he'll have to prove his
urgency. If the court believes
him, it will set a date for you
to move. This date will depend
on local law, not on OPA.
MUST PROVE TITLE
So far all this involves land
lord who is not a veteran.
A veteran doesn't need an
urgent reason IL he wants you
to vacate so he can move into his
own property-if ne owned the
property before OPA regula-
tions in that area went into ef-
feet.
If you try to fight him in
court, he doesn't have to prove
there-as a non-veteran land
lord would-that his reason is
urgent.
Now take No. 2-the land
lord who bought the property
after the OPA regulations in
that area became effective.
Suppose he wants you out so
he can move in. Veteran or non
veteran, such a landlord must
get an OPA eviction certificate.
The OPA director will decide
how long before you have to get
out.
In the case of a non-veteran
landlord, it will be three to six
months. In the case of a veteran
who is a new landlord-or in a
hardship case-the OPA director
may eliminate part of the wait
ing period.
Before a new landlord applies
for an eviction certificate, he
must prove he made down
payment of at least 20 per cent
on the property. This require
ment may be waived in the case
of a veteran who is a new land
lord.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-(P)
So the landlord wants you to
get out. If he says so, here's the
best advice: Check Immediately
with the OPA rental director in
your area.
There are general OPA rules
on vacating, applying to the
whole country. Since each OPA
area has its own director and
problems, the rules and time
limit vary bit from area to
area.
In addition, there are local
laws on evictions. They, too,
vary. Some say a landlord can't
evict within 80 days, some 90,
some more.
In a certain case in a certain
place, local law may say a land
lord can evict in 80 days. But
the OPA director may rule III
that case-or that kind OF case
that he can't evict for six
months, his rule sticks.
VETS GET BREAK
Remember: Veterans who are
landlords get special considera-
ton from OPA and local courts
when they want to occupy a
house they own. There are two
main groups of landlords: o
l. Those who owned the prop
erty in which you live before
OPA regulations went into ef-
feet in that area.
2. Those who bought the
property after that date.
Take No. 1.-The landlord who
owned the property before OPA
regulations went into effect.
CURB RIGHTS
Whether or not he's veteran,
he can't force you out at all II
you have been a good tenant and
his only reason for wanting you
to vacate is to rent to someone
else.
If the landlord (not veteran)
wants to occupy the property
himself but has no urgent need
for doing so, in most areas he'll
have to wait six months. In
some places it will be three
months.
He must get from the OPA
director a certificate of evic-
ton. The direction will send a
cop to you. Depending on the
area, the director will see that
you don't have to move for three
or six months.
But suppose the landlord says
he wants you out because he
urgently needs the place for his
own occupancy. In that case he

ignate themselves) and regain
public support.
Churchill made daring chal-
lenge-daring because it is one
from which there is no retreat
when he defined the issue as
that of "the people versus the
Socialists"
He put it in this grim fashion:
DISASTER?
THE vote of the electors at

the greatest disasters that has
smitten this country through its
long and checkered history. =

without fear, that in the next

Socialists"
He did not dot the is and
cross the is Of this order Of the
day to his fighting forces. I'm
afraid, however, that anyone
with imagination must see in il
the implications OF a fierce po-
litical struggle in which one
class of the population tries to
subjugate another.
KEEN STRATEGY
Churchill is great political
strategist, and from the applause
being given him by his followers
it would see that they think he
has picked the plan which has
the best chance OF success. An
impartial observer can only re-
mark that the old maestro is
playing a very long shot, The
Socialists at this writing are
holding a strong position, and
no man can prophesy the future
with any degree of certainty.
Britain's wartime premier has
employed the political tactics OF
pushing the Laborites onto q
premise which they themselves
not only had not taken but had
disavowed. This is, as he puts It,
that the Socialist doctrinaires'
in carrying out their program
will rob the country of THAI
reasonable prosperity and free
dom for all classes on which we
have hitherto built our English
and British way Of life" Such
claim of course enyisages ex.

mentation of the individual.
