Canton Board to Ask OPA for Rental Control
Canton’s E W Brown chairs the fair rent committee and will request designation of Canton as a defense rental area under the price control act. The move follows a Friday committee vote, and OPA could set rents based on the fair rent date plus general increases after a 60 day buffer for local controls. Brown notes Canton has seen high rent increases per a defense area survey. The committee in February handled five evictions, convinced five landlords to accept recommendations, and found three complaints groundless under the program.
