Answers to Rent Queries; New Laws Explained for Evening World Readers : F. 8—On Sept. 1, 1919, I leased my apartment for a year at $51, the rent heaving been raised from $45. I have Just been advised of an increase to $63. Should the 25 per went. increase be figured upon $51 or $457 ‘ Answer—Uipon $51, since that is what you paid a year ago. BROOKLYNITE—On April 1, 1919, { was paying $36 a month; on Oct. 1 ef that year my Fent was raised to $43 and I sikned a lease which expires | Opt. 1, 1920. We have been advised the rent will be $58 after Oct. 1, 1920, if we wish to sign a lease for a year. They have taken out our telephones ‘and notified us no renovating will be done. What advice? Answer—tf the telephone is a cus- tomary and accepted part of the building service you can have the jandlond arrested for removing It. ‘You can compel him to put the apart- ment in @ comfortable and habitable condition. The law presumes the in- crease to be unjust and oppressive because it exceeds 25 per cent of What you paid a year ago. But if fn landlord can show by his figures that euch a raise is necessary the cburt will allow it. C. H.

Answer—Offer your landlord $8 50 more, which will make 25 per cent. of what you paid last October.
