Item — Box: 5, Folder: 31

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_5_31_0013

Scope and Contents

The letter is a response from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, to a complaint about a housing situation in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Schwabe explains that he cannot intervene in the issue as it is a matter for the local courts and not within the jurisdiction of Congress. The letter writer had rented a house for three years with the understanding that part of the rent would go towards a down payment to purchase the property, but now the owner is asking for $4,500 with no valid option to purchase. The letter writer expresses frustration with the situation and urges Schwabe to take action to prevent such unfair practices.
