Chester Bowles, OPA dire tor, in a letter to all area rent directors and area rent at- torneys, said that rooms referred to must not constitute an apart- ment, and second, that if the furnished room or rooms contain all the facilities (including kit- chen facilities) necessary for a complete and. self - contained dwelling unit they constitue an apartment. The United States Conference of Mayors réquested such a rul- ing clarification as it thought the exemption from eviction regula- tions would encourage home- owners who have spare rooms to. rent them to a veteran or his family.
