HERE IS Pertinent Information ON new Rent
CONTROL Law PASSED BY 80TH CONGRESS

Automatic increases in rent are not
authorized under the new rent control
law. Charles II. Queary, regional rent
administrator. said in Denver this
week.
For the information and guidance
of tenants and landlords. Queary point
ed out these salient features Of the
new rent control law:
l.. A tenant pays the same rent in
July that he did in June, unless an
order is issued subsequently or he
voluntarily enters into a lease agree
ment with his landlord. Nothing in
:. the new law invalidates a lease now
in existence.
9. The new law provides that the
tenant and landlord enter into a valid
written lease on or before December
81. 1947. and expiring on or before
December 81, 19iS.
3. Under such a valid lease, which
must be examined and approved by
area rent directors, an increase in
rent up to Is per cent above the maxi
mum legal rent in effect at the time
of signing is permissible. However,
the increase may be less than Is per
cent.
4. A copy of the lease entered into
voluntarily between tenant and land
lord must be filed with area rent di.
rectors within fifteen days after it is
signed. The lease cannot contain any
evasive termination or penalty claus
es. and it cannot decrease the essen
tial services, furniture. furnishings
and equipment.
