Rent Control Bill Passes in Senate to Extend Controls
The Senate approved by voice vote and sent to the White House a bill to extend rent controls through February 29. It allows a 15 percent rent increase where landlords and tenants agree, with no general rise otherwise. If vetoed by President Truman, rent controls may end at month’s end. The bill blends House and Senate versions as a compromise.
