Rest Director Answers Queries (These questions were selected from those often asked of the local rent office. If you have a question about the rent stabilization pro gram. address it to: Branch Area Rent Office, 9th & Arendell St.. Pender Bidg., Murehead City, N. ? C.) Question: Recently I applied at your office and received an In crease in the maximum rent of an apartment in my house that I rent to a young couple. They resent my raising the rent up to the new maximum and they are going to make it hard on me. Since then they have been having loud parties way into the night and have been generally a nuisance. Is there any ' thing I can do about it? Answer: You should notify your tenants in writing that they are creating a nuisance, citing several specific instanoes, and request that the nuisance cease. If they do not desist, you may then give them a written eviction notice allowing them 10 days in which to move. If they do not move, you can then proceed to evict them through your local courts. Send a copy of the eviction notice to the area rent office at the. time you serve it on the tenant. , Question: I have been renting ah apartment to close friends for the past two years at much less than I think the apartment is worth. They are having to move to another city and I want to rent the apartment , but don't think 1*11 be able to at the same maximum rent. What can I do about it? Answer: You may go to the local rent office and aply for an increase l in the maximum rent on the unit,. If you can qualify under one of several provisions you may receive an increase. Generally speaking, such applications for increases are judged on comparable rents for similar apartments in your neigh borhood. Question: Recently I signed a lease on a house under control for j $75.00 a month and later learned that the rent ceiling set by the rent > office for the house was only $60. 00. My landlord says that regard less of the rent ceiling the lease is a legal contract and I must pay the full $75.00 each month. Is that correct! Answer: Regardless of the lease you can be required to pay onlj? the maximum legal rent establish ed by the rent office, which is $60. 00 for the house. The lease is in valid as far as it contradicts the Federal rent law and, if you have already paid more than the legal ceiling rent your landlord may be required to refund Hie difference and may be forced to pay addition ? al penalties for the overcharge. Question. It is neccessary that 1 make extensive repairs on a house which I own and which is now being rented. I can't make these repairs while the tenant is l.ving in the house and he doesn't want to move. Can I evict him? Answer: You may evict a tenant so that you may make extensive repairs or remodelling of a house . accommodation, if they will con stitute an alteration, but you must first obtain a certificate from the area rent office and the tenant will be* given a reasonable length of time to find another place in which to live. When you apply for the certificate you must bo prepared to prove to the rent office that it is not practical to do the work while the tenant occupies the house. Mayor A. B.
