Gallia Rent Director Edward Wagner says tenants whose home is sold after rent control began in 1942 have strong protection against immediate eviction. If new owner wants occupancy, tenants may usually stay for about three months while seeking new quarters as eviction must be approved by local authorities, not the Office of Price Administration.
