OPA ANNOUNCES NEW
RENT AMENDMENTS
Several important amendments
to the Rent Division have been
announced by the Rent Director
of Alaska OPA. Two of these
amendment’s definitely tighten up
eviction requirements. A landlord
whose ownership dates back to
Nov. 1, 1942, and who seeks to
evict a tenant in order that he
may occupy the dwelling himself
must now show a compelling ne
cesity to do so unless he is an ex
serviceman.
Heretofore a purchaser of rent
al property could evict a tenant,
if self-occupancy was desired,
three months after procuring a
certificate from the OPA. OPA
claims the three months waiting
period provided in the Rent Reg
ulation has proven toatlly inade
quate to enable dispossessed ten
ants to find other accomodations
in a price range within their abil
ity to pay. Under the revised law
the waiting period is extended to
six months, unless the Rent Direc
tor determines that conditions in
the area indicates that thi'ee
months are sufficient for the
maintenance of stabilized housing.
On the other hand, the Director
can waive the waiting period en
tirely if the purchaser has been in
the Armed Services and is faced
with the necessity of securing ac
commodation for himself and
family.
The revised Rent Regulation
also eliminates as a cause for re
moving a tenant, a remodeling,
demolition or alteration of the
dwelling unit. In order to evict a
tenant on those grounds now, ap-1
plication must be made to the
Rent Director for an eviction cer
tificate, and each such application
will hinge on the relative neces
sities of both the owner and the
tenant. According to OPA offi
cials this and the other changes
are in recognition of the increas-1
ing difficulties faced by tenants in
securing alternative rental hous
ing where the supply is inade-:
quate. Properties are being re-!'
moved from the rental market at
an accelerated pace by sales to
owner occupants. The diminish- 1
ing supply available to tenants at
the war’s beginning is being fur
ther exhausted by returning vet
erans, OPA said.
NEW PASSENGER CARS

the following information from
| the Juneau OPA office.

tires, but usable for many trucks
ineligible for rationed truck tires. (
Release in the States applies to
