result.
Hundreds of families whose

the agents pleading- the law of

the increases.
I Real estate agents estimate
(that 10,000 families who had re

The unexpected vacating of j
more than 1000 apartments has
left the landlords in doubt.
Many families doubled up,
two to an apartment, and others
moved to hotels rather than pay
