Protection of Lessees Rent Control Asked
A veterans group urged Congress to extend rent controls for another year with protections for 1.5 million tenants who signed leases allowing increases. Amvets legislative director Ray Sawyer told a Senate subcommittee the current law expires February 29 and that a new bill could be ready by February 5. He urged keeping tenants from being evicted by removing control for those who signed leases. Under the 1947 law, tenants with leases allowing up to 15 percent increases were removed from control January 4 and remain protected until December 31, 1948.
