Through their failure tocheck the registration statement on file in the rent office, several buyers have i made poor bargains instead of good investments, the rent director re- vealed. In all cases, the buyer did not have the true facts on the status of the property under rent control. In some cases, he said, the buyer understood that the premises are not under control or that the rent ceilings are considerably higher than they are in fact. In other cases, the seller quoted the correct ceiling rents, but the buyer did not understand that the rent in- cluded heat, public utilities, or other services. In still others, the buyer learned too late that the housing accommodations are under lease. The rent director advised every person who is considering the pur- chase of rental housing to call the IMPORTANT JOINT MEETING the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union nd Vessel Owners Association TONIGH T === 7230 January 18 I sta- | . lof a band concert in March and !and Roger M.
