REALTORS FIGHT
RENT CONTROL
Local Board Claims That Regulation Is Unfair And Unnecessary.
The Indianapolis Real Estate Board yesterday adopted a resolution opposing any form’ of rent control. The action followed reports from
‘Washington that legal means to
protect consumers against too rapidly rising rents may be necessary where defense expansion causes a great influx of workers. Harriet ‘Elliott, consumer commissioner of the National Defense Advisory Commission, in a report on the “Maintenance of Fair Rents During the Emergency” stresses that the commission is not recommending a general policy of rent control. “It should be resorted to only when new construction is not sufficiently rapid and extensive to meet the need and where local communities- can find no other means to check the disastrous rise in rents,” she said. The Board's resolution set out that rent control was unfair to real estate since such a practice controls income, but not expenses, and also restricts independent ownership and management of property. Ralph E. Hueber, chairman of the local Board's property management division, this week appointed Firman C. Sims to study the Canadian plan of “freezing” rentals. Mr. Sims is to report at the next meeting. : The U. S. Department of Labor reports that in Indianapolis, the rent index is second highest, exceeded only by Birmingham, Ala., among the nation’s 33 largest cities.
