Rent Control Extended 15 Months amid Deadlock on Fair Return
Washington Reuters House senate conferees agreed to extend rent controls for 15 months but failed to resolve how to guarantee a fair return for landlords. A stormy 4 hour session left a key clause unresolved, with plans to reconvene Monday to craft a compromise bill before next Thursday’s expiry and after Senate and White House review. The package would extend controls and restore ceilings to late 1948 levels for permanent hotel accommodations in New York City and Chicago, while the dispute centers on limiting landlords’ profits.
