11. Landlady, Tenant Ordered Out Of Rentals Sitting "Go outside and fight it Judge Daly ordered a couple, at the Rental Board sitting Friday night Taking his advice an Irish land lady and her French-Canadian Senant out and continued their verbal battle in the haU. The landlord wanted to raise the rent because of improvements. "The sink needs fixing. The toilet Is blocked.

Now the sewer is blocked. It is not a nice place to raise said the tenant The landlady got in a counter- harraffe. No decision was reached ur the battle in the hallway but the ten ant won in the board room. "An increase was disallowed. Another battle royal occurred between a male landlord and two married women.

"He turned the electricity off at night He turns the hot water off all the time. We. can't even take a bath. He won't burn coal to beat the house. He went into my room and hit my little daughter1, said the tenants.

"These are-all the man retorted. The decision was: "You must heat the house properly and sup ply lights." A sailor had a share in the night of verbal battles. He had rented a basement apartment that turned out to be a damp basement When the people upstairs wash, the water backs up in our' sink and we have to carry it out with buckets. He turned the cellar into what he called an apartment and rented it to me for more than he was renting the good apart ments charged the sailor. The tar got a reduction.

A landlord brought a lawyer to talk for him. The lawyer objected when a French" tenant had to have his brother speak for him, but his objection was over-ruled. It was another tenant victory. An involved case, in which all three parties were breaking the law, came up over a lease which did not expire until after the basic period date. It was smoothed out in a friendly manner.

Twenty-five cases were decided during the sitting. Judge Daly and A. B. Ullett presided. The next sitting of the Rental Board will be held Thursday evening, April 22.
