These questions were selected
from those often asked of the

Question: About a month ago
I was granted a certificate by
your office to evict a tenant so
that my daughter and her hus
band, who had returned from
overseas, could occupy the
Seasoned-Sawed Pine
TOBACCO
STICKS
Per Thousand
The certificate re
tire to wait three months
tore beginning evfctilph pro
ceedings in file local coarts. Now
the tenant has failed to pay the
rent dtlfe daring waiting period.
What can I do?
Ah&wer: If the tenant refuses
to pay the rent you are entitled
to' you do not hare to wait out
the three months but, instead,
itiay proceed with the eviction
according to local law after
complying with the notice pro
visions of the rent regulations.
This provision requires that you
wait only three days after prop
er written notice is given to the
tenant and a copy served on the
rent office. If you do not bring
suit for eviction against this ten
ant for non-payment of rent
you should notify the rent of
fice of your action on a form
we will be glad to furnish.
Question: Recently a house
became vacant that I wanted to
rent very much. I asked the
landlord to rent it to me but he
said he was saving it for some
one else who would arrive to
rent it in several weeks. Later
I learned that he had rented it
to another party. Can he do
this?.
Answer: Certainly. There is
nothing in the rent laws that
prohibits a landlord from! se
lecting whatever tenants he
wants or from holding a vacant
unit as long as he wants before
renting it. He can’t, however,
evict one tenant just because he
wants another one in his unit.
Question: My landlord claims
that he is exempt from federal
rent regulations because he fi
natiftW (life House'I am renting
under the OI bill. Is that true?
Answer; It certainly is not and
I believe, if I were you, I’d check
with the rent office to see if
this landlord is abiding by the
rent laws. All houses and apart
ments in (Critical Area), as well
as virtually all otHelf dwelling
units, are subject to maximum
rent and eviction control reg
ulations.
Question: About a year ago I
rented an unfurnished house
and furnished it. Now I have
to move out of the state and
would like to sell my furniture
to the new tenant. I have asked
my landlord to let me find a
tenant who wiM buy my furni
tore before renting It to any
one else. He says be can’t do this
because of the rent stabilisation
laws. Is this correct?
Answer: Your landlord is cor
rect. You (may. seek a tenant
who would be agreeable to buy
ing your furniture but If one
comes along who Is not, your
landlord cannot make this pur
chase of your furniture a con
dition of renting the house to
him. This provision of the rent
laws Is designed to protect you,
as well as other tenants, against
tie-ins which would circumvent
the maximum legal rents.
