Description
This action was filed by the Housing Expediter (appellant) in August 1947 to enforce compliance with the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, ? 901 et seq., and the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, ? 1891 et seq. In an amended complaint the Expediter set out a schedule of alleged rental overcharges for 19 units or apartments in an apartment hotel operated by the defendants. The asserted overcharges covered periods of varying duration between January 1944 and September 1947, constituting infractions either of the former or of the present statute or continuing violations of both. It was alleged that the defendants had received from the occupants of these housing accommodations amounts in excess of the maximum legal rents established, and by such practices had violated ? 4(a) of the 1942 Act, or ? 206(a) of the 1947 Act, and regulations issued pursuant thereto.The relief prayed was (1) for judgment under ? 205(e) of the 1942 Act for treble the amount of the overcharges, (2) that, pursuant to ? 205(a) of the 1942 Act and ? 206(b) of the 1947 Act, the defendants be ordered to refund to the tenants all excess rentals not previously refunded, and (3) that they be enjoined from demanding or receiving for the specified housing accommodations rents in excess of the legal maximum permitted.
