Rent Commission Cuts Injunction On City Apartments
The Rent Commission reduced apartment rents formerly set at $100 a month to $35 to $70 in several cases. Hearings were held to adjust contracts for multiple units including a first floor, second floor, and northwest corner properties. The move affects about 90 to 210 rental units with fifteen month terms beginning February 1919, and is tied to actions by Harris and other landlords.
