A spokesman for the housing

sized that the formula to put

a fair net operating income" for
landlords in the new rent act is
not based on the landlords re
turn on his investment"
What the landlord obtains as
a return on the amount Of his
invested money is not involved in

said. The rent increases per-
mitted to some landlords under
the act cannot be related in any
way to the amount Of the invest

The spokesman emphasized that
what actually will determine
whether landlord can obtain a

Mr.. Woods said. in effect. that
these questions now are a matter
for landlords and tenants 10 de-
termine-with area rent Offices
acting as referee.
Under the new policy small
landlords-those renting one TO
four dwelling units-will be al
lowed rent increases If net in
come is less than % per cent of
gross income In such cases. rents
will be boosted to raise net in
come to a 30 per cent level.
For large landlc. ds-those
renting more than four units
increases will be permitted TO
bring operating income to Is per
cent. If the net figure is now
below the 20 per cent mark.
Specific Steps for Boosts.
Mr.. Woods said it is impossible
to tell how many rents will be
increased under the formula. Nc
accurate figures are available to
show how much landlords net
operating incomes now average
/ In addition to setting up the
amount of net income to which
landlords are entitled under tie
law, the procedures also outline
specific steps which must be taken
by landlords to get rental boosts
/ Landlords first must petition area
rent Offices for increases under
the formula. That provides auto
matte notification to renters, who
then will be given an opportu-
nifty to oppose the increase.
Explaining operation of the
fair net income" yardstick, Mr..
Woods offered this sample case !:
A small" landlord with a total
income from rents of $1,000 an
nually has operating expenses
including taxes-of $500 a year,
plus depreciation allowance of
5000 a year. This leaves a met
operating income" of 5000 a year

income.
