New York state han Iimited by law the rental which may be charged for houses and apartments, specifying that the rent in any one year shall not be more than 25 per cent greater than for the pre ceding year. It has given the courts much greater powers also to protect tenants against profiteering landlords. Now comes the state rent sin, and in a report just Phillip, recommends that the legislature be called tn semaion at once to enact a law limiting to 25 per cent the groms profits and 10 per cent the net profits that any landlord shall charge @ tenant tn Wisconsin.
