Maryland communities gain expanded rent control duties under the Housing and Rent Act of 1950 effective July 1. Acting Area Rent Director Thomas B.

The six month extension runs to December 31, 1950, with municipal action needed by December 3, 1950 to continue beyond that date, via city resolution or a referendum.
