Free for all on rents expected in congress today
A bill to extend rent controls 14 months in a relaxed form risks a free-for-all in Congress. Democrats push to add teeth while Republicans defend relief for landlords. The full banking committee will meet to decide action. The plan allows unlimited increases under long leases, loosens building restrictions, expands local boards power, and extends controls to April 30 1949. Senator Sparkman warns the measure could coerce tenants with large increases. He favoring the current 15 percent cap and says the bill falls short of President Truman’s request for stronger extensions. Cain argues only tenants seeking protections after April must agree to terms.
