"Does tho OPA prevent me
from evicting a tenant who Is
renting a sleeping room in my

question being asked by resi
dents of this area who are rent
ing such rooms In their homos
and those who have rooms to
rent, states Marvin Hlxon, area
rent representative, 11 1 x o n
points out that rent control evic
tion regulations do not apply to
an occupant of a furnished room
or rooms not constituting nn
lipartmcnt within a landlord's
residence. Tho samu Is true In
tho cuse of a family' occupying
a room or rooms not constitut
ing an apartment, providing tho
landlord rents to no other per
sons except tho ono family. The
same rule is truo whether it Is
,i sleeping room with or without
kitchen privileges.
The need Is great locally for
sleeping rooms with kitchen
privileges, Hixon added, and
landlords can render a patriotic
service by renting such accom
modations. The only require
ments arc that the rooms be
registered with tho Area Rent
office within thirty (30) days
after renting them.
Any questions pertaining to
evictions and rent control
should be referred to the area
