Rebates Received

Many people have already received rebates
from their landlords for illegally raising rents.
The Tenants Association has not been able to
compile a full list of landlords who have raised
rents, but are waiting for people who suspect
that their rents were illegally raised to stop the
Association's table on second floor Newcomb
Hall.

David Barnes, chairman of the Tenants
Association, said that anyone suspecting that
their rents had been raised should do several
things. First they should stop at the table
between 12 noon and 2 p.m. and obtain a copy
of the IRS pamphlet. If their landlords seem to
be violating the freeze, and refuse to return the
illegally raised portion of the rent, the person
can receive help from the CTA in filling out a
complaint. The matter will then be turned over
to the Internal Revenue Service.
