Item — Box: 6, Folder: 29

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_6_29_0031

Scope and Contents

The letter is addressed to Congressman Schwabe regarding the OPA Rent Control Division and a bill to eliminate price regulations. It discusses a situation with rent control in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the writer details their efforts to seek a fair adjustment in rent for their apartment. They express frustration with the OPA's refusal to inspect the apartment and make necessary adjustments, leading to a discrepancy in the calculated increase in rent. The writer provides calculations showing that it will take over nine years to recover their expenditure at the current rate of increase, rather than the four years they were led to believe.
