RENT REGULATIONS IN FULL FORCE and EFFECT
Renewal of rent control on July 25, has
created numerous questions and uncertain
ties in'the minds of Alaska landlords and
tenants, if inquiries now pouring into the
Territorial and field offices of OFA are'
any indication. Office and phone calls,
since President Truman signed the Price
Control Extension Act last week, are run
ning as high as they did when Rent Control
was first enacted in 1942,'according to
reports from those officos.
The Alaska OPA's territorial office in
Juneau today explained that rent rcgula-'
tions are again in full force and effect,
on the same basis as when'they were temp
orarily lifted on Juno 30. In attempting
to inform the public on the ftost common
questions now'being receivedJ the Alaska
Rent Director, E.P. McCarron, stressed the
following points: (1) Rents that hove been
increased between June 30 and July 25 must
now be returned to their pre-Juno 30 ceil
ings; (2.) Notices of rent increases that
were to have gone into effect after July
25 are thus void and ineffective; (3)Rcnts
in excess of the re-established June 30
ceilings, which Jiavc been actually collect'
ed during the period botwcon Juno 30 and
July 25, need not be refunded to tenants—
However no such increased rents can bo
collected on duo dates subsequent to July
25; (4) Pre-payments for more than one.
month in advance at an increased rate '
should therefor bo refunded to tenants,
according to latest official interpreter
tion received from the national Rent
Office in Washington.
With question on evictions being especial
ly numerous right now, it was explained
that no act or transaction occurring be
tween June 30 and July 25 which has al
ready resulted in a tenant’s eviction
would be actionable as a violation. How
ever, all pre-evictio’n notices terminating
tenancies and demands for possession is
sued but not completed during that time,
which were not in conformity with the re
cna.ctod eviction requirements, arc now
void and have no effect; Agreements made
during the interim time, botwoon landlords
and tenants, for the surrender or possess
ion, or for the payments of rents in ex* '
cess of former ceilings arc likewise void.
All local Landlords and tenants are urged
to consult the nea.rost OPA office or write
direct to the Territorial QPA Rent Office
in Juneau, on their individual problems
regarding Transactions occurring between
June 30 a*i July 25, - JUIEAU, ALASKA OPA
Future plans and operating policies of the
Alaska QPA under the recently enacted Price
Control Extension'Act of 1946 will bo
announced throughout the territory in the
near future.
