Defendants receive
$30 rent reduction
By LAURIE HARRIS
The court awarded apartment possession yesterday to
defendants Naomi and Thomas Karow in the third rent
strike eviction case brought to trial by Arbor Management.
In addition, the six man jury reduced the Karows' rent
by $30. In an agreement made Thursday, Arbor Management
amended their original charge by reducing the claim $43.69,
the sum the Karows had paid to Abbott Oil Co. when their
heat did not work.
Arbor Management was suing the Karows for back pay-
ment of two months' rent, minus the sum allotted for the
oil bill, and possession of the
premises.
Ronald Glotta, counsel for the s] u t
rent strike, felt that the full im-
plication of the possession decision
was not yet known, but was very,
satisfied with the verdict. I
However, Jack Becker, attorneyg
J for Arbor Management, said, "The
landlord (Edward Kloian) is en-
titled to rent." He also said that ! em o r la
