Tenant protections under 1949 housing and rent act cited

Area Rent Director Carter says the 1949 housing and rent act strengthens tenant protections in controlled dwellings. It limits overcharges and unlawful evictions, allows tenants to respond to rent increase petitions, and enables refunds for prior overcharges. It also guards against rent hikes when services are cut and lets tenants file complaints with the rent office for service restoration.
