If you have a question about the rent stabilization pro- gram address it to: Area Rent Of- fice, 216 Federal Building, Key West, Florida.) QUESTION: My landlord is re- quired to furnish a refrigerator but the one he furnishes is an old type and too small for my needs. I have asked him to remove it so that I can buy and install a larger and more modern type. Am I en- titled to a reduction im rent? ANSWER: No. If the landlord keeps the equipment required avail- able to the tenant and the tenant chooses not to use it then the jand- lord is not required to reduce the rent. Of course, if the refrigerator were unusualbe because of lack of mechanical repair ther. the land- lord would be required to repair \or replace it or reduce the rent | by its value. QUESTION: Does a suit for damages by the Government against @ landlord bar the tenant from taking similar action on his own behalf for the same over- charge? ANSWER: Yes, it does. During loccurs only the tenant involved can bring suit for damages but after that time suit for damages |by either the tenant or the Gov- | ernment bars the other from filing | ‘a similar suit for the same viola- ; tion. However, the Government can | file a suit for injuction or like order to require compliance whe- | ther the tenant sues or not.
