In this case, the landlord may obtain a rent increase to $60, which is 20 per cent more than the S50 rent in effect before the increased cost adjustment took place. 4. The landlord rent on June 30, 1947, was $50 and he hat since received a S10 increase because of a major improvement such as a garage, modern bathroom, sleeping porch, or an increase in services such as utilities and heat. He may now obtain an additional 20 per cent on his present rent of $60, for a total new rent of $72.

5. The landlord' rent on June 30, 1947, was $50. Since that date the rent has been increased to SfiO because the $50 rent wai less than that brought for comparable dwelling units. Since the $10 increase was not for an improvement or an increase in services, the landlord cannot obtain a further increase under the 20 per cent provision because he is already receiving 120 per cent of the original $00 rent. 6.

The landlord's rent on June 30. 1947, was $50. Since that date the iandlord has been permitted to charge an additional $5 whenever he rents to a number of persons that is greater than normally occupied this kind of dwelling unit. In this case. th landlord is eligible for a rent of S60 for normal occupancy (120 per cent of $50).

In any rase where the present maximum rent already la more than 120 per cent of the June 30, 1947. rent plus adjustments for improvements and services, the present maximum rent continues without change. In any case where there has been a decrease in services or equipment such as cutting off utilities, such increases must shown in the application and are offset against the 20 per cent increase. suit was many phone call to local rent offices, to know if tthey were going out of businesa.

Many tenants decided to buy their own homes, says C.

B. Snyder real estate brokerage firm, reporting 85 sales made in July, the largest total for the month in the company's history. The company predicts a lively real estate market through the fall because of the pressure on tenants to buy and because the increased return on residential properties will attract investors.

increase. Most large landlords have applied for increase since 1947 ami most have received them. Here are the latest figures, released last week by the Washington Office of the Housing Evpedi-ter and by the Newark office for this area for the 1951 fiscal year alone. Nationally, in that one year, 1,098,967 petitions for rent increase were processed by local rent officet and 962,980, or 87.8 per cent, were granted. The average increase allowed wa 17.8 per cent.

Those landlords, and the milHoni of others given increases since 1947, would seem ta be out of the running for more rent under the act. Most of them probably got more than one increase since 1947, as large landlords watch their rent rolla vigilantly, renting being their chief 'or only business. Most Had Increase on New street.
