Full Text
994 charsThe Rent Act expressly states that the term “housing accommodations” includes “rooming- or boarding-house accommodations”3 and includes in the definition of tenant “person entitled to the use or occupancy of any housing accommodations.”4 Furthermore, the Act defines “rooming house” and gives the Administrator power to require a license as a condition to the renting of housing accommodations in a rooming house.5 All this establishes beyond question that a roomer is en~ titled to the protection of the Rent Act. This protection lies largely in the regulation of rents, the maintenance of service standards, and the prohibition against dispossession of a tenant “so long as the tenant continues to pay the rent to which the landlord is entitled,”6 with certain specified exceptions. Therefore, although plaintiff was a “tenant” within the meaning of the Rent Act and entitled to its full protection, there is no prohibition in the Act against dispossessing a tenant who does not pay his rent.
