8% Rent Raise
Agreed On for
Nay|or Gardens
Compromise Taken
Under Amusement
By D. G. Examiner

Owners and tenants Of Naylor
Gardens today agreed on a COM
promise 8 per cent rent increase,
effective next month, at public
hearings in the District Building
on the owners request for a IS per
cent monthly increase.
The agreement, believed to be the
first OF its kind in the District, was
taken under advisement by Rent
Control Administration Examiner
James G. Tyson.
The present rentals are $3.50 for
ne-bedroom apartments, $6s.50 and
$40 for two-bedroom apartments,
and $78 for three-bedroom apart
ments per month. Under the COM
promise plan these. would increase
g per cent.
$40 Units Affected.
The compromise would guarantee
that the owners, the Veterans Co
operative Housing Association,
would not seek further rent in
creases, at least until January l.
1949. The agreement also provides
for setting up a tenants committee
which shall have access to the CO.
operatives books and will work
with the management to reduce
costs wherever possible.
The compromise covers $40 of the
748 units in the Southeast housing
development.
The agreement was reached on
the second day of the hearing by
Attorneys William A. Roberts and
Francis j. Ortman, representing the
cooperative, and Scott P. Champion
and Robert G. Dunn, jr.. represent
ing tenants who do not belong to
the cooperative.
Some Tenants are Owners.
The agreement provides that, If
operating costs increase more than
2 per cent after January /, 1949, a
three-man committee of tenants
will decommend to the tenants that
they agree to a reasonable rental
increase.
Both sides agreed there is a
mutual interest in harmonious con-
ditions because Naylor Gardens is
occupied by its owners and tenants
side by side.
Through the cooperative, 426 of
the 748 apartments have been sold
to individual owners. OF the 426
individually owned apartments, $50
are occupied by the owners.
