War Housing Controls Simplifted

The western building industry today was advised of clarification and simplification of requirements controlling occupancy, lease and sale of privately financed war housing to war workers, by Eugene 'Weston, Jr., regional representative of the National Housing Agency.

Authority for the action was delegated to NHA by the War Production Board as a result of the joint declaration of policy on war housing made by WPB and NHA last December. The policy was implemented and made effective February 10 with the issuance by WPB of a revision of the housing application form for preference rating assistance.

In developing the new occupancy and marketing regulations, the National Housing Agency, in cooperation with WPB and the War Manpower Commission, sought to provide a fair operating basis for the builders of essential war housing and at the same time to assure that private war housing is made available to the war workers for whom it is intended, Mr. Weston said.

The new regulations apply only to private war housing built under preference rating applications filed on or after February 10. Occupancy and marketing of projects built under preference ratings applied for prior to that date will be governed by the requirements on those matters previously in force.

For projects covered by the new regulations, the following principal conditions are established: l. For the duration of the war emergency, the housing must be reserved for rental occupancy by indispensable inmigrant war workers as defined by the National Housing Agency on November 27. These standards of occupancy also apply if the original owner sells or transfers such housing, as well as to re-occupancy of the quarters.

2. Alter four months occupancy, the housing may be made available.to the eligible war worker occupants by sale or under the lease option plan, provided that the option applies only to the tenant, that the total monthly payment shall not exceed a fair rental for com.parable quarters, that the purchase price shall be a fair market price in no event exceeding $6,000, and that the option to purchase may not be exercised prior to four months occupancy and shall continue in effect for at least 30 months. The ourchaser also must abide by the same occupancy and marketing provisions which applied to the original owner.

3. The limitations upon sale do not apply to transfers of ownership other than for occupan.y pu"for.r, provided that the new owner ,certifies that he will be subject to the same occupancy and marketing requirements as the original ownef.

4. The occupancy and marketing requirements do not continue subsequent to an involuntary transfer, such as a mortgage foreclosure.
