Tenants Told 10 Wait
Court Action Before
Giving Up Occupancy up

The Washingt ton. Housing Associa-
ton warns that tenants who receive
30-day notices to move should wait
until the courts have an opportunity
to act in the matter If they do not
wish to surrender their occupancy
rights.
The warning came in the current
issue of the associations housing
letter, which reported on study of
what happened to 140 houses whose
owners filed notice that they wanted
the dwellings for their own use.
In 27 instances, the association
said, new tenants, other than the
owners, were found to be occupying
the premises, and in five cases the
house was either vacant or being
offered for sale.
"The 27 cases wherein new tenants
are occupying the premises and the
five cases wherein the house Is now
vacant or for sale appear to repre-
sent an evasion of the spirit and
intent of the District rent law" the
association said.
Under the law, a landlord may
take action If he "seeks in good faith
to recover possession of the prop
erty for his immediate and personal
use and occupancy as dwelling"
In 81 of the 140 cases studied, own
ers were found to be occupying the
houses; in % cases tenants had not
moved and in four there was 'insuf-
ficient information" according to
the report.
Commenting, Robert F. Cogswen,
District rent control administrator,
said there was nothing in the law to
prevent landlord from obtaining
possession of a property, occupying
it for time and then selling it or
re-renting it. He confirmeds that If
tenant moved without permitting
the case to go through the courts he
would surrender his occupancy
rights.
In cases of willful violations Of the
act by a landlord, he said, criminal
prosecutions could be brought by the
corporation counsel at the request
of the Rent Control Administration.

When the District Commissioners
sent up the nominations Of three
members of the new Redevelopment

in one Capitol Fill quarter that it
was out of accord with the Consti-

agreed, had the Senate ever taken
nominations requiring Senate con-
f1rmation from anyone other than
the President.
On the advice Of Charles L. Wat

for consideration, along with the
two other members named by Presi-

Committee.

James E. Collif1ower, Edward A
Dent and Richard Atkinson were
named by the Commissioners. The
President nominated Mark Lans-
burgh and George A. Garrett.
Mr.. Watkins said a question con-
ceivably might be raised" about the
source of the three nominations
although he doubted this would be
the case-since nominations to Gov.
eminent positions heretofore alway.
had come from the President.
He hastened to add that the Com
missioners, in submitting the NOM
nations, were acting strictly in
accord with the act of the past
Congress, directing them to name
three Of the boards members.
IF there is any question" he said
"it would be a conflict between the
new slum redevelopment law and
the Constitution" rather than any
question of the Commissioners ir
forwarding the names.
