increases under the new federal rent law are increasing steadily, John Beller, Des Moines area rent director, said Saturday. Approximately 200 were filed at the rent office in May, increase of at least 50 over April, first month under the new law, he added. "Coming Faster." "They are coming in even er this month," declared Beller. Approximately 38 per cent of the requests for rent increases have come under the "fair net operating income" feature of the new law, Beller said. The federal housing expediter has determined that net operating income fair, Beller plained, when, "in the case of small structure, it does not.

fall below 25 per cent of the annual income and, in the case of a large structure, 1 it does not fall below 20 per cent of annual income." small structure has four units or less; a large structure has five units or Beller cited as an example basement apartment of three rooms and private bath which had been renting for $41 1 a month. The landlord petitioned for an increase and was granted $47.25 monthly under the fair net operating income clause. Other grounds on which a landlord may petition for increased rentals are an increase in services, increased occupancy and major capital improvements. These three and several other grounds for seeking additional rent are on the same petition blank. An increase In services means additional furniture, furnishings or equipment.

For example, A landlord who installs An electric refrigerator and provides the electricity to operate it customarily is granted a $4 monthly increase in rent, Belller explained. Requesta for adjustmenta on the grounds of increased occupancy come most frequently from landlords who rent sleeping rooms, he said. Extra Occupants. If a room has been renting for $4 weekly to a single occupant, the landlord may petition for an increase for an extra occupant, he explained. Major capital improvements a re defined as "structural changes," such as the addition of rooms.

The rent office recently increased the monthly rental from $43 to $54 on a three-room, sharethe-bath apartment which was improved to include private bath, new kitchen sink and builtin cabineta, new automatic water heater and new stoker furnace, Beller said. Beller also called attention to the fact that the new purchaser of a rental property in required law to fill in a blank at the rent office reporting the change in identity of landlord. This is required, he explained, so that the rent office has a record of ownership of the property and the new landlord may learn the rental status of the property. WHAT!
