OFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION
Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 for Housing Accommodations Other Than Hotels and Rooming Houses in the Ravenna Defense-Rental Area *
In the judgment of the Administrator, rents for housing accommodations within the Ravenna Defense-Rental Area,² as designated in the Designation and Rent Declaration issued by the Administrator on March 2, 1942, have not been reduced and stabilized by State or local regulation, or otherwise, in accordance with the recommendations set forth in said Designation and Rent Declaration.
The Administrator has ascertained and given due consideration to the rents prevailing for housing accommodations within the Ravenna Defense-Rental Area on or about April 1, 1941. It is his judgment that defense activities had not resulted in increases in rents for such housing accommodations inconsistent with the purposes of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942 prior to April 1, 1941, but did result in such increases commencing on or about that date. The/Adminis-trator has made adjustments for such relevant factors as he has determined and deemed to be of general applicability in respect of such housing accommodations, including increases or decreases in property taxes and other costs.
In the judgment of the Administrator the maximum rents established by this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 for housing accommodations within the Ravenna Defense-Rental Area will be generally fair and equitable and will effectuate the purposes of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942.
Therefore, under the authority vested in the Administrator by the Act, this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 is hereby issued.
Section 1. Scope of Regulation.—(a) This Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 establishes the maximum rents which may be demanded or received for use or occupancy on and after June 1,1942 of all housing accommodations within the Ravenna Defense-Rental Area, as designated in the Designation and Rent Declaration issued by the Administrator on March 2,1942, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) This Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 does not apply to the following :
¹ Published in the Federal Register as Title 82, Chapter XI, Part 1888, sections 1888.811 to 1388.824 inclusive. y

Section 2. Prohibition Against Higher Than Maximum Rents.— Regardless of any contract; agreement, lease or other obligation heretofore or hereafter entered into, no person shall demand or receive any rent for use or occupancy on and after June 1, 1942, of any housing accommodations within the Defense-Rental Area higher than the maximum rents provided by this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 ; and no person shall offer, solicit, attempt, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

On or before July 1,1942, every landlord of housing accommodations under this paragraph shall file a report on the form provided for each of such accommodations stating the maximum rent and such other information as may be required.

The landlord shall, prior to renting and in time to allow 15 days for action thereon, file a petition requesting the Admin-istrator to enter an order fixing the maximum rent therefor. Such order shall be entered on the basis of the rent which the Administrator finds was generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1, 1941. In cases involving construction due consideration shall be given to increased costs of construction, if any, since April 1, 1941.
4
If no order is entered on such petition within 15 days after filing, the landlord may rent such accommodations and the first rent therefor shall be the maximum rent.

The Administrator may order a decrease in the maximum rent as provided in Section 5 (c).
Section 5. Adjustments and Other Determinations,—■.In the circumstances enumerated in this section, the Administrator may issue an order changing the maximum rents otherwise allowable or the minimum services required. In those cases involving a major capital improvement, an increase or decrease in the furniture, furnishings, or equipment, an increase or decrease of services, or a deterioration, the adjustment in the maximum rent shall be the amount the Administrator finds would have been on April 1, 1941, the difference in the rental value of the housing accommodations by reason of such change. In all other cases, except those under paragraphs (a) (7) and (c) (6) of this section, the adjustment shall be on the basis of the rent which the Administrator finds was generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1, 1941. In cases involving construction due consideration shall be given to increased costs of construction, if any, since April 1, 1941. In cases under paragraphs (a) (7) and (c) (6) of this section the adjustment shall be on the basis of the rents which the Administrator finds were generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations during the year ending on April 1, 1941.
(a) Any landlord may file a petition for adjustment to increase the maximum rent otherwise allowable, only on the grounds that:
(1) There has been on or after June 1, 1942, a substantial change in the housing accommodations by a major capital improvement as distinguished from ordinary repair, replacement, and maintenance.
(2) There was, prior to April 1, 1941, and within the six months ending on that date, a substantial change in the housing accommo-
5
dations by a major capital improvement as distinguished from ordinary repair, replacement, and maintenance, and the rent on April 1, 1941, was fixed by a lease which was in force at the time of such change.
(3) There has been a substantial increase in the services, furniture, furnishings, or equipment provided with the housing accommodations since the date or order determining its maximum rent.
(4) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was materially affected by the blood, personal, or other special relationship between the landlord and the tenant and as a result was substantially lower than the rent generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1,1941.
(5) There was in force on April 1, 1941, a written lease, which had been in force for more than one year on that date, requiring a rent substantially lower than the rent generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental'Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1, 1941; provided that no increase shall be granted while the lease remains in force.
(6) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was established by a written lease which provided for a substantially higher rent at other periods during the term of such lease; provided that no increase shall be granted in excess of the rent provided by said lease while it remains in force.
(7) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was substantially lower than at other times of year by reason of seasonal demand for such housing accommodations. In such cases the Administrator’s order may if he deems it advisable provide for different maximum rents for different periods of the calendar year.
(b) If, on June 1, 1942, the services provided for housing accommodations are less than those provided on the date determining the maximum rent, the landlord shall either restore the services to those provided on the date determining the maximum rent and maintain such services or, before July 1, 1942, file a petition requesting approval of the decreased services. Except as above provided, the landlord shall maintain the minimum services unless and until he has filed a petition to decrease services and an order permitting a decrease has been entered thereon ; however, if it is impossible to provide the minimum services, he shall file a petition within five days after the change of services occurs. The order on any petition under this paragraph may require an appropriate adjustment in the maximum rent.
(c) The Administrator at any time, on his own initiative or on application of the tenant, may order a decrease of the maximum rent otherwise allowable, only on the grounds that :
6
(1) The maximum rent for housing accommodations under paragraphs (c), (d), or (g) of Section 4 is higher than the rent generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1,1941 ; or the maximum rent for housing accommodations under paragraph (e) of Section 4 for which the rent was not fixed by the Administrator is higher than such generally prevailing rent.
(2) There has been a substantial deterioration of the housing accommodations other than ordinary wear and tear since the date or order determining its maximum rent.
(3) There has been a substantial decrease in the services, furniture, furnishings or equipment provided with the housing accommodations since the date or order determining its maximum rent.
(4) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was materially affected by the blood, personal or other special relationship between the landlord and the tenant and as a result was substantially higher than the rent generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1, 1941.
(5) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was established by a written lease which provided for a substantially lower rent at other periods during the term of such lease.
(6) The rent on the date determining the maximum rent was substantially higher than at other times of year by reason of seasonal demand for such housing accommodations. In such cases the Administrator’s order may if he deems it advisable provide for different maximum rents for different periods of the calendar year.
(d) If the rent on the date determining the maximum rent, or any other fact necessary to the determination of the maximum rent, is in dispute between the landlord and the tenant, or is in doubt, or is not known, the Administrator on petition of the landlord filed prior to July 1,1942, or at any time on his own initiative, may enter an order fixing the maximum rent by determining such fact ; or if the Administrator is unable to ascertain such fact he shall enter the order on the basis of the rent which he finds was generally prevailing in the Defense-Rental Area for comparable housing accommodations on April 1, 1941.
(e) Where, at the expiration or other termination of an underlying lease or other rental agreement, housing accommodations or a predominant part thereof are occupied by one or more subtenants or other persons occupying under a rental agreement with the tenant, the landlord may rent the entire premises for use by similar occupancy for a rent not in excess of the aggregate maximum rents of the separate dwelling units, or may rent the separate dwelling units for rents not in excess of the maximum rents applicable to such units.
7
Where housing accommodations or a predominant part thereof are occupied by one or more subtenants or other persons occupying under a rental agreement with the tenant, the tenant may petition the Administrator for leave to exercise any right he would have except for this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 to sell his underlying lease or other rental agreement. The Administrator may grant such petition if he finds that the sale will not result, and that sales of such character would not be likely to result, in the circumvention or evasion of the Act or this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17. He may require that the sale be made on such terms as he deems necessary to prevent such circumvention or evasion.
Section 6. Restrictions on Removal of Tenant.—(a) So long as the tenant continues to pay the rent to which the landlord is entitled, no tenant shall be removed from any housing accommodations, by action to evict or to recover possession, by exclusion from'possession, or otherwise, nor shall any person attempt such removal or exclusion from possession, notwithstanding that such tenant has no lease or that his lease or other rental agreement has expired or otherwise terminated, unless :
(1) The tenant, who had a written lease or other written rental agreement, has refused upon demand of the landlord to execute a written extension or renewal thereof for a further term of like duration but not in excess of one year but otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the previous lease or agreement except insofar as such terms and conditions are inconsistent with this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 ; or
(2) The tenant has unreasonably refused the landlord access to the housing accommodations for the purpose of inspection or of showing the accommodations to a prospective purchaser, mortgagee or prospective mortgagee, or other person having a legitimate interest therein ; provided, however, that such refusal shall not be ground for removal or eviction if such inspection or showing of the accommodations is contrary to the provisions of the tenant’s, lease or other rental agreement; or
(3) The tenant (i) has violated a substantial obligation of his tenancy, other than an obligation to pay rent, and has continued, or failed to cure, such violation after written notice by the landlord that the violation cease, or (ii) is committing or permitting a nuisance or is using or permitting a use of the housing accommodations for an immoral or illegal purpose ; or
(4) The tenant’s lease or other rental agreement has expired or otherwise terminated, and at the time of termination the housing accommodations or a predominant part thereof are occupied by one or more subtenants or other persons who occupied under a rental agreement with the tenant ; or
8
(5) The landlprd seeks in good faith to recover possession for the immediate purpose of demolishing the housing accommodations or of substantially altering or remodeling it in a manner which cannot practicably be done with the tenant in occupancy and the plans for such alteration or remodeling have been approved by the proper authorities, if such approval is required by local law ; or
(6) The landlord seeks in good faith to recover possession of the housing accommodations for immediate use and occupancy as a dwelling by himself, his family or dependents; or he has in good faith contracted in writing to sell the accommodations for immediate use and occupancy by a purchaser, who in good faith has represented in writing that he will use the accommodations as a dwelling for himself/ his family or dependents; or the landlord seeks in good faith not to offer the housing accommodations for rent. If a tenant has been removed or evicted under this paragraph (a) (6) from housing accom-¡modations, such accommodations shall not be rented for a period of six months after such removal or eviction without permission of the Administrator. The landlord may petition the Administrator for permission to rent the accommodations during such six-month period, and the Administrator shall grant such permission if he finds that the action was in good faith and not for the purpose of evading any provision of the Act or this Regulation.
(b) No tenant shall be removed or evicted on grounds other than those stated above unless, on petition of the landlord, the Administrator certifies that the landlord may pursue his remedies in accordance with the requirements of the local law. The Administrator shall so certify if the landlord establishes that removals or evictions of the character proposed are not inconsistent with the purposes of the Act or this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17 and would not be likely to result in the'circumvention or evasion thereof.
(c) Where a tenant is removed or evicted under the provisions of ? paragraph (a) (4) of this section, or where the tenant’s interest in the housing accommodations has terminated because the landlord has sought a higher rent as authorized by section 5 (e), and at the time of such removal, eviction or termination the housing accomihoda-tions or a predominant part thereof are occupied by one or more subtenants or other persons who occupied under a rental agreement with the tenant, such subtenants or other occupants shall be deemed to become the tenants of the landlord on the same terms and conditions, consistent with this Maximum Rent Regulation No. 17, as they would have held from the tenant if his tenancy had continued and their maximum rents shall remain unchanged ; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not prevent the removal or eviction of a subtenant or other such occupant where the tenant rented to such person in violation of the obligations of his tenancy. Persons who continue in
9
occupancy under this paragraph may be removed or evicted as provided in this section.
(d) At the time of commencing any action to remove or evict a tenant (except an action based on nonpayment of a rent not in excess of the maximum rent) the landlord shall give written notice thereof to the Area Rent Office stating the title and number of the case, the court in which it is filed, the name and address of the tenant and the grounds on which eviction is sought. .
(e) No provision of this section shall be construed to authorize the removal of a tenant unless such removal is authorized under the local law.
Section 7. Registration,—On or before July 1,1942, or within 30 days after the property is first rented, whichever date is the later, every landlord of housing accommodations rented or offered for rent shall file in triplicate a written statement on the form provided therefor to be known as a registration statement.

The original shall remain on file with the Administrator and he shall cause one copy to be delivered to the tenant and one copy, stamped to indicate that it is a correct copy of the original, to be returned to the landlord. In any subsequent change of tenancy the landlord shall exhibit to the new tenant his stamped copy of the registration statement, and shall obtain the tenant’s signature and the date thereof on the back of such statement. Within five days after renting to a new tenant, the landlord shall file a notice on the form provided therefor, on which he shall obtain the tenant’s signature, stating that there has been a change in tenancy, that the stamped copy of the registration statement has been exhibited to the new tenant and that the rent for such accommodations is in conformity therewith.
No payment of rent need be made unless the landlord tenders a receipt for the amount to be paid.
When the maximum rent is changed by order of the Administrator the landlord shall deliver his stamped copy of the registration statement to the Area Rent Office for appropriate action reflecting such change.
