Judge Rules in Favor Of Two Tenants Under New Rent Law Owner Also Awarded A Decision; 4 Cases Go to Administrator In a third set of rulings under the new Rent Control Act, Judge Na than Cayton in the Landlord and Tenant branch of Municipal Court yesterday handed down seven de cisions, one in favor of an owner seeking possession. Pour cases were referred to the rent control admin istrator for action and two were rendered in favor of the tenants. Judge Cayton personally inspected several of the properties before making his decisions. He found in favor of Thomas W. Parks, who wanted his old family homestead for occupancy along with his two brothers. Landlord Ignore* Promise. “With a commendable spirit of co-operation, plaintiff’s agent has located another dwelling for the tenant (Mrs. Willie Hubbard), be longing to another owner, at the same rental,” the jurist said in his memorandum. He said he had in spected the new location for the tenant and had found it In a clean and attractive condition. He referred a case to the rent control administrator in which the landlord had raised the rent with a promise of extensive repairs, but had failed to do so. He also referred to the administrator another case of failure on the part of the landlord to make repairs. The other two cases sent to the administrator for a hearing in volved non-payment of rent by a tenant on a claim of insufficient heat. The other involved a dispute over what constituted an equitable rental charge. Tenant Used Oil Heaters. Judge Cay ton found In favor of a tenant who was using Individual oil heaters rather than the main heat ing plant, basis for the eviction claim. The jurist Inspected the premises and said in his opinion if the main heating plant is repaired “there will be no further reason for the dispute between these parties.” The other decision in favor of the tenant was found in open court and Judge Cayton said in his memoran* dum that “if there is any further effort by the landlord, or by his agent, to Interfere with the de fendant’s use of the premises, it should be reported to the admin istrator of rent control.” Benning Citizens Name Police Station Committee The Benning Citizens’ Associa tion last night approved appoint ment of a committee to investigate the proposed establishment of a No. 14 precinct station in the Benning area.
