EALTORS' PLAN FOR FAIR RENTALS In a Position to Solve Land-A lord-Tenant Problems, * Board Secretary Says. That thé Washington Real Estate Board, through development of a tentative plan for a realtors’ fair rental committee, is now “in a posi- tion to assist materially in the solu- tion of any problems that might arise in the future rental situation! of Washington” was the announce- ment made last night by Executive Secretary John A. Petty on behalf of the executive committee before the board at its monthly meeting Wardman Park Hotel Tells of Steps Take: Mr. Petty recounted the steps which have been taken looking toward the establishment of a rental committee, pointing out that the movement orig- inated at a joint conference of the executive committes, the arbitration committee, the appraisal committee. the past presidents of the board, and a group of other members of the or- <anization. At this joint meeting, he explained, it was the opinfon that the Real Estate Board should go on record to the effect that none of its members would take advantage of a lapse of the Ball rent law to unjusti- fiably increase rents or arbitrarily seek possession of properties. In agdition. he sald, it was felt that the board should take some action def- initely to protect tenants and the pub- lic generally from similar scts on_the part of others. With #his in mind, it | was thought advisable to create a fair | rental committee would function lin a manner to m | tween landlords | through pressure of | pel_landlords or rental ageuts to deal | | fairly and justly with their tenants.
