New tenant act explained
Landlords and tenants received an explanation of the new Residential Landlord-Tenant Act last night at a clinic sponsored by the Consumer Affairs Association.
Lance Burr, local attorney and former assistant attorney general, discussed impleme-
tation of the proposed law.
The act, which went into effect July 1,
gives the magistrate court power to enforce its provisions, although any suit under $200
may be prosecuted by small claims court. The act also provides:
that an inventor must be completed by an inventor must remain within five days after ten days.
that when a landlord or tenant has possession of the lease but doesn't sign it, and the rent is paid and accepted the lease is valid.
that a limit be set on security deposits.
that a time provision be put on repairs that are necessary to meet safety and health standards.
"The law that came out was pretty good, it was what you wanted was a pretty good law," Burr said. "But you had to."
Previously legal questions between landlords and tenants were handled under case, or precedent laws.
it is reread a word assumes a new meaning, Burr said.
The act is difficult to read, and every time
Burr said all landlords and tenants should obtain a conv of the act and read it.
The Consumer Affairs Association, Marie Lynch of Lawrence Landlords, Inc., the attorney general's office and Burr have information on the act.

without any change even after meeting with SenEx.
"I thought there were some very important objections to the commission's findings earlier by SenEx," he said. "We got the impression they agreed with the objections, but then they published the conclusions without any change."
Several members of the council said they opposed setting up a faculty committee to
study the report because the faculty would look defensive.
Frances Horowitz, council member, said the faculty should wait until the final report is released.
"The final report's recommendations will surely be sent to various faculty committees," she said. "Those committees could then study the conclusions and see if they are valid and if they should be implemented."
