Higher rent proposed to speed housing recovery
A group of Senate Republicans urged extending rent control to end-1987 with a 15 percent ceiling rise on newly built, vacant units to spur leasing and ease shortages. Senator Hawkes and three colleagues said the plan aims to push private industry to shoulder most of the burden as housing expects to improve this year. Industry leaders predicted a buyers market and a return to normal prices, citing a shift from seller to buyers market in 1947 and noting lumber shortages easing.
