Truman Signs Inadequate Rent Control Extension
President Truman signed an eight month rent control extension allowing landlords to raise rents up to 15 percent on leases through December 31, 1948. He called the measure a step backward, warning tenants face higher costs and evictions amid a housing shortage. The act creates advisory boards, lifts controls on new housing, and shifts eviction rules to state law, while promising broader construction release and streamlined provisions.
