Washington reports Rent Boss Frank Creedon finished a re check of about 400 local rent advisory boards and found five percent heavy with landlords. He noted only six percent of the nation's 15.7 million rent controlled units have signed 15 percent rent-raising agreements, with December 31 as a deadline and March 1 for expiry of ceilings if not renewed. Creedon urged governors for more information on boards that failed to meet criteria, warning he may seek more tenant nominees to balance boards, as some in Maryland and Florida were deemed unacceptable.
Creedon critiques cite superficial re surveys and vague governor nominations. The article notes governors list members simply, leaving questions unresolved. It mentions a housewife listed with landlord ties and discusses boards calling for adjustments under new rules. Creedon suggests governors may accept or ignore advice.
