E. P. McCarron, Rent Ex- ecutive-Attorney, reveals that a landlerd in Anchorage has refunded to certain tenants in an apartment building the sum of $215. The re- funds werd meade on the request of | the OPA and represent overcharges in rents paid by the tenants on the landlord’s demand. “There was evidence before us that the overcharges were the re- t of an honest mistake on the of the landlord.” McCarron stated, “but had there been indica- tions of wilfulness we would not have permitted a settlement on this basis. ‘The Rent Regulation is going to be enforced more strictly than hereto- fore in Alaska, and our efforts along this line will be increased so long as the war effort continues to disrupt it by creating an abnormal demand for housing accommodations.” In addition to criminal sanctions for wilful violations of the Emer- gency Price Control Act and Rent Regulation, tenants are authorized to sue landlords for treble the amount of the overcharges or $50 for each overcharge, whichever sum is the greater, said McCarron. In all cases where tenants make set- tlements with their landlords the OPA requires a statement of com- pliance by the landlord to the effect that he acknowledges the violation and agrees to forego other violations in the future. If future violations | occur, the statement is employed in subsequent court proceedings as evi- dence of wilfulness, McCarron furth- er declared - SITKA WOMAN HERE Registered from Sitka, Margaret L.
