Rent controls debated as housing bill advances
March 17 through Maybank, banking committee action on rent hikes and housing measures is reported. A housing official says about half of tenant dwellings would see a five percent rent increase October 1 under the bill, with further rises for smaller units later. A closed door session is planned to study the smaller units, with a favorable vote anticipated by nightfall and Senate calendar placement expected soon. President Truman seeks a two year extension and tighter controls, while the sub-committee measure shortens extension and loosens rules.
