President Truman signed into law an eight month extension of federal rent controls, allowing up to 25 percent increases with leases through December 18. He called the measure inadequate and said it is a step backward in protecting tenants from unjustified raises while noting a continued housing shortage and limited price controls. He warned tenants to fear higher rents if no lease is agreed and urged Congress to pursue broader housing and financing aids.
