Elimination of
Courts Proposed
By REBEL HOPE
The Office of Friee Administra, 1
■ tion rent control office has received
numerous and various inquiries
concerning registration and rental
of dwelling units by local landlords
who themselves do not understand
OPA regulations, Russell Stephens,
rent director, said Saturday.
“Landlords must comply the
rent regulations which recently
were firmly established as consti-
tutional by the United States Su-
preme Court,” Stephens added
To comply with OPA regulations,
landlords must register all dwelling
units rented to tenants within 30
days after first renting the units.
“For example, a certain landlord
changed his dwelling unit during
1 vacancy from an unfurnished apart-
1 ment to a furnished apartment. He
I set his own ceiling rent on the fur-
f nished unit. In the event that the
' landlord falls to register it with the
; local rent office within the 30-day
period and later the area rent of-
fice discovers that the unit is not
registered, the difference in the
rent set by the landlord at the first
rental and that set by the rent of-
fice is refundable on an order to
the tenant beginning with the first
_ rental period payment after Oct. 1,
- 1943. The amendment granting
such a refund became effective on
' that date,)" Stephens explained.
Upon each change of tenancy, the
landlord is required by the OPA to
- : secure the tenant’s signature -on the
reverse side of the landlord’s copy
of the registration blank. In ad.
dition. the landlord is required to
execute form D-25, change of ten-
ancy blank, which must carry the
- tenants signature also. The change
in tenancy blank then must be
mailed to the area rent office for
filing.
"Many landlords come to the of-
fice with this problem: Upon what
1 .grounds can we evict a tenant? The
‘ OPA rent regulations are made for
, the protection of the landlord as
• well as the tenant. There are six
reasons why a landlord, has the
: right to evict a tenant” Stephens
4. Right of the landlord to evet
sub-tenants at the termination of
the master tenant’s lease.
5. The landlord in good faith I
wishes possession of property for
immediate purpose of altering or
remodeling in a manner which can-
not practicably be done without the
tenant in occupancy, and the plans
and specifications have been ap-
proved by local authorities where
necessary.
6. The landlord seeks in good
faith to obtain the dwelling unit as
a home for himself
in all of the above cases, the
landlord is required to give the
tenant a written notice for posses-
sion containing the following three
requirements:
1. Tenant should be given a mini-
mum of ten days notice.
2 Landlord must state the grounds
upon which he demands possession.
3. Landlord must state the date
upon, which he wants possession
In the event the tenant fails to
pay the rent when due, or if the
rent is in arrears, the landlord may
give a three-day written notice as
outlined above. At the end of the
three-dav period the landlord can
exercise his rights under the local

AUSTIN, April 1 (P)—The state
bar in joint meeting today with
district judges and the legislative
redistricting committee, advocated
the abolition of nine district courts.
In opposition to abolition of some
30 as suggested by Rep. C. M. Mc-
Farland of Wichita Falls.
Hamilton Lowe of Edinburg,
chairman of the state bar redis-
tricting committee, said that after
careful consideration, the bar felt
the abolition of more than nine
district courts would hinder the
judicial functioning of the state.
The courts' which might either be
eliminated or absorbed by another
district are as follows, according to
supreme legislative districts, said
Lowe:
