Rent Control Endangered By Heavy Cut In Funds
The Senate approved a greatly reduced appropriation for the Office of the Housing Expediter, raising doubt about rent control in coming months. Sen. Paul Douglas led a failed effort to boost funds, warning decontrol may proceed without enough money to enforce the 1949 rent law. The debate cited 198,000 landlord petitions in four months versus 160,000 in the prior four months, signaling ongoing enforcement strain as areas decontrol and staffing shrink.
