Description
HOOD, Associate Judge. The plaintiff below sued her landlord for an alleged violation of a maximum rent ceiling and sought
judgment for double the excess charge under the provisions of Section 10(a) of the District of Columbia Emergency Rent Act.
Code 1940, 45-1610(a). The tenant took possession under a written lease dated November 1, 1944. The case was tried below and argued here on the
basis that at and prior to the commencement of the tenancy there was no rent ceiling on the accommodations either by operation
of law or by determination of the Rent Administrator. Although the record does not contain facts affirmatively establishing
this basis, we accept it in our consideration of the case.
