These conflicts were triggered by the post-war housing shortage, which prompted landlords to raise rents, drove tenants to go on rent strikes, and spurred the state legislature, a conservative body dominated by upstate Republicans, to impose rent control in New York, a radical and unprecedented step that transformed landlord-tenant relations. The Great Rent Wars traces the tumultuous history of rent control in New York from its inception to its expiration as it unfolded in New York, Albany, and Washington, D.C. At the heart of this story are such memorable figures as Al Smith, Fiorello H. La Guardia, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, as well as a host of tenants, landlords, judges, and politicians who have long been forgotten. Fogelson also explores the heated debates over landlord-tenant law, housing policy, and other issues that are as controversial today as they were a century ago. 606 $aPrice regulation$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRent control$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPrice regulation$xHistory 615 0$aRent control$xHistory 676 $a346.747/104344 700 $aFogelson$b Robert M$01008839 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452372203321 996 $aThe great rent wars$92472015 997 $aUNINA
