New Rent Guidelines Issued by Price Commission
The Price Commission outlined complex new rules for residential rents aiming to limit overall increases in 1972 to about 3.5 percent on average. Individual tenants could face rises up to 15 percent or see rollbacks depending on circumstances, while critics say the plan will fuel inflation and allow up to 30 percent hikes in some cases. The rules distinguish monthly or weekly rentals from long term leases and allow a 2.5 percent operating-cost adjustment yearly, with extra cap limits on higher costs. Continued on Page 2. Col. 4.
