the earlier he gets his docunent
registered, the more money he
stands to make. u
Under the fair net operating
income" formula drafted by Hous-
ing Expediter Tighe e. Woods.
small" landlords-those operat-
ing one to four rental dwelling
units-will be allowed rent in
creases If their net operating in
come is less than rs per cent OF
gross income. In such cases rents
will be raised to 80 per cent
level.
In the case of large" land
lords-those operating more than
four rental units-increases will
be permitted to bring operating
income up to rs per cent If the
net figure is now below 20 per
cent.
Congress specified in the new
law that the owner is entitled to
the fair net operating income. but
left 1t to Mr.. Woods to decide
lust what that income is.
Woods Clarifies New Formula.
In an effort to clarity his new
formula, Mr.. Woods yesterday
prepared q long list OF questions
and answers covering further de-
tails Of the program. For exam
ple. this is how the landlord fig-
ures out his net operating In
come:
First, he selects a "test" year.
which may be the most recent
full calendar or fiscal year. or any
IL consecutive months ending not
more than 30 days before the date
he files the petition He then
substracts expenses and allow
ances for depreciation from the
annual income of the test year.
What expenses can be included?
Fuel and utilities. If supplied by
the landlord, payroll. real estate
taxes, insurance, interior painting
and decoration. depreciation. man
agement fees. repairs and replace
ments, janitorial supplies such as
brooms, mops. cleaners, etc.
Restrictions on Many Items.
But there are restrictions on
most of these items. For example,
If the property owner has to re-
place a roof during test year,
at a cost of $500. and the new
roofs normal life Is Is years. then
he can charge off only one
fifteenth or $40. ! However, he can
figure in a similar pcoportionate
share for the cost of repairs and
requirements made in years prior
to the test period he selected.
In figuring out his allowance
for interior painting and decora-
ton, he adds the cost Of such
work in the test year to the SINH
lar expenses In the two preceding
years, then divides the total by
three to determine the annual
sum chargable for this outlay.
On the item Of depreciation. the
landlord may use the amount
shown on his latest Federal in
come tax, providing it is not more
than 81 per cent Of his annual
income, If he is a small" landlord
and not over 16 per cent il hi

operates more than four dwelling
units.
Tenants Question Unanswered.
Still left unanswered, however.
Is the big question of just how
much more rent outlay is in
store for each tenant. Federal
officials said this can only be de-
termined as the individual petit
tons are processed.
Here are some Of the other
questions and answers proposed
by Mr.. Wood: ,
@. What basis did the expediter
use to determine what would con-
stitute q fair net operating In
come?
A. A study Of the actual oper-
ating experience of landlords both
before and during rent control.
The years 1889 to l946 were COW
cred In the study. This included
three years before rent control.
one year of partial control. and
four years under control.
@. How were the expense and
income figures of landlords OBJ
tanned?
A. They were obtained from
landlords books and records In
90 cities throughout the United
States by government account
ants.
@. Does this fair net operating
income formula give q fair re-
turn on investment or value?
A. It does not attempt TO de-
termine q return on value. Con-
gress, after careful consideration
of a return on value formula
found that it was unavoidable.
@. Why does the landlord have
to indicate on which Of his units
he Is receiving lease rent?
A. This information Is needed
in determining the amount Of rent
increase on each unit in the build
ing. For example. units covered
by voluntary Is per cent in
creases are not affected by any
rent increase until after the
leases have terminated. II the
leases have terminated, the rents
on such units are not increased
until the non-lease units have
been brought up to the rent level
Of the lease units.
@. What happens when the
total amount of the adjustment
is not covered by increasing the
rents of the non-lease units to
the newell of the lease units?
A. Then the amount still due
the landlord Is applied proper
tionately among all units.
@. What happens In such q
case If the leases are still In ef-
feet? Do the Unbiased units have
to bear the entire cost Of the ad-
justment?
A. No. In such case, the
amount Of the increase imposed
on the lease units would begin
only after termination Of the
leases.
@. What If part Of the building
is rented for q store or doctor
or lawyers office. Does 1t have to
bear part of the increase?
A. A proportionate share OF the
increase for the entire building
would have to be allocated to the
commercial unit or units. In other
words, the entire amount Of the
increase In such q case could not
| be applied to the residential units
