Canton fair rent group hears 34 cases
The Canton fair rent committee met at Civilian Defense HQ and heard 34 tenant complaints about rent increases, the most in seven months. One case yielded a $2.50 increase instead of $5 after a landlord showed substantial property improvements. The panel warned evictions may rise as tenants complain, with several cases in municipal court or pending. Leon Henderson had designated Canton as a defense rental area to stabilize rents at April 1, 1941 levels under new price controls.
