Theyre sleeping was usually done without benefit of a ceiling rent or otherwise two million men of married since entering the service. And millions more were already married when they started packing packs or swinging sea bags. A lot of men are gone through this routine. Sat through the last army lecture. Signed the last navy pave voucher and come home to love and affection. And problems lots of problems. What do you want sergeant . A job you private. You want to know about school . Or do you have a different kind of problem . Having trouble finding an apartment. Or a house this one all break six rooms oil burner near all churches and shopping convenient transportation how much rent for this house . Or this couple together again after being separated by three and a half years of blue pacific water. Well how much mr. Agent . A little more than you expected wasnt. And you make a joke . Go back home. Sit down again with your pencil and paper and see if you can work it out. Dottys folks as well, but a fellow would like to spend a little time alone with his wife after three and a half years of Community Living in barracks and foxholes. Joe may no longer be a private. His budget is one thing hed like to keep that way. Particularly when he sees stuff like this coming along. Enjoy yours, isnt the only family doubling up. There are lots more like yours. Whats more to come . Nothing like a nice june wedding. Orange blossoms bridesmaids and that very special ring. But today theres something youve got to take care of before choosing a ring. Views cant change the fact that the situation today is tough. Weve had a time with housing while you were gone. Materialism labor went to war the materials. That should have gone gone into houses like this. Going into houses like this. Window glass roofing steel paint flooring a fellows are usually built these were building these. There was practically no Home Building except in critical Production Centers were great war plants sprang up and far out stripped in areas housing facilities. This lack of building threatened to send the rents of houses and apartments skyrocketing. Until the office of Price Administration stepped in to protect the people by holding the line not only on prices. But on rents as well. These men may not be able to define stabilization. Rocketing rents are something they understand. A lot of subjects are being discussed in american town meetings these days. But one thing most people are agreed on is that rent control is a good thing. I think so. My name is johnson. I own a house over on sixth street thats rented full up has been for the past five years. Sure. Id like to get higher rents, but i guess if i got higher ran somebody else would be entitled to hire this and somebody else again would be entitled to hire that. Before long at that rate wed all be on a roller coaster. Maintenance and repairs or a landlords big problem today and view of materials and labor shortages. It might tenants are willing to understand some of my problems in that respect. I can get with rent control the way i figure what these country needs is a little more golden rule . And little less rule of gold how do my tenants like rent control . Well, why dont you ask them . My name is catherine kelly. I live at 109 6th street. Mr. Kelly my husband works in the post office i guess hes what youd call a salaried man. Theres a lot to be said for being a salaried man, but i can tell you most of us never get rich at it. What about rent control i dont know much about it. Except we were paying 39 a month rent before the war and we are still paying it. We just couldnt pay any more. Clock james clark radio engineer im one of mr. Johnsons tenants, too. What do i think of rent control . Well, mr. Ive got a family to support. And anything that keeps down the cost of living is alright with me. Rent control isnt perfect. There are very few chizzlers and rent gouges who insist on bonus payments and fully tie in sales of furniture. But by the vigilance of cooperating landlords and other local citizens as well as government officials. The public is protected. This public and this product the shooting war is over. Was still at war against inflationary prices and rents. Is the largest item in our budget lifting rent controls while homes are still scarce would break all other price controls such a break of the line would be followed by skyrocketing prices and the kind of headache. We had after world war one which started when rents jumped 50 after armistice day. With this situation becomes of the utmost importance to hold the line break the line on rent by paying or charging illegal rent. And you could help start an inflation who is only result. Would be the kind of deflation and depression that followed world war one. Take the lid off rinse and you make it tough for this veteran of World War Two coming on to the wife and baby. Javi left.

Building material prices of being controlled and Building Supplies are being channeled to where they will be of the greatest good. For the greatest number to the types of homes that most people need but demand still far exceeds supply and will for a long time to come. Itll be some time before there are enough of these. And these to satisfy adequately the tremendous pentup demand of the war years years when we stood shoulder to shoulder against evil overseas, but all stand shoulder to shoulder in our own land to protect these men and millions like them in and out of uniform against the homegrown evil of overseeing rents. Bribes bonuses and furniture rackets if you were threatened with an illegal eviction report it to the opa youll get help. If you know of a rent violation report it to the opa theyll act on it.
