Senate Subcommittee Approves 14 Month Rent Control Extension
The Senate banking subcommittee approved a Republican bill to extend rent controls for 14 months while allowing limited increases. The measure keeps current rents until April 30, 1949, with adjustments if new leases are signed or tenants accept a voluntary 15 percent rise. It also lets leases extend to 1949 or longer, with caps on charges if a lease ends early, and may remove a nonessential construction material restriction from the housing act.
