Mir. Cites Points Showing How . Adjustment Is MadeByOnice The Elizabeth City Rent Control Office which also serves Hertford and Edenton has .been made increasingly aware that some misunderstanding exists with reference to the manner in which rent increase could be ob tained from that office, it was stated today by Thomas J. Markham, 1 Director-Attorney. One of the rumors which has ap parently gained considerable momen tum, especially in the town of Hen ford is that where a tenant and his landlord jointly apply to the Rent Office for an increase of rent that a rent adjustment would be made. This is utterly untrue, Mr. Markham said. The only manner in which a landlord can obtain an increase in rent is to petition the Area Rent Office by' lorms provided ror by that office. In this petition he states his reason for believing that he is entitled to an , increase and his reason must be one of those stated in the Rent Regula tion.f Under no circumstance Is a. rent increase granted because a land lord thinks his rent is too low. This is not now, nor has it ever been a ground for an adjustment of rent, Mr.. Markham said. Another case of misunderstanding on the part of landlords is that rents are reduced if a tenant applies for a! decrease. This is, equally untrue, KiifSfsJ n they are higher r than the rent generally prevailing on March 194Z.
