The Michigan Daily-Thursday, January 12, 1978-Page 9 Compromise tenant's handbook draws praise, criticism (Continued from Page 1) landlord attorneys. Rose 'said "tenants need uncensored, uncompromised information from ten- ant's lawyers about tenant's rights ... which the referendum would provide for." Rose, who has written tenant booklets for the city, said landlords are afraid of the section which the referendum pro- poses be written by tenant advocates, so they pushed for the city-adopted booklet as a less objectionable alterna- tive. BERTOIA CALLED Rose's claim "ridiculous." He said, "for a lawyer, (Rose) sure doesn't check his facts very well." Councilwoman Leslie Morris (D-Sec- ond Ward), long an advocate of the re- vised booklet, said she "doesn't buy (Rose's charge) in the slightest." She 6U' to Study effects of PBB (Continued from Page 1) really been settled yet." Remington said, "Most of us have had some exposure (to PBB contam- ination)." But he "would be sur- prised to find major overt effects." Remington predicted the study would find the level of PBB in the blood of the test participants to be low. RALSTON said that, "in the gen- eral population, we would expect to, find a lower level of PBB contamina- tion than those on the farms." A UPI press release yesterday said officials may be worried about the PBB problem as a national problem, as well as a Michigan problem. "I'd love-to know who made the statement," said Ralston. "To my knowledge, there has not been a problem with a PBB spill anywhere else but in the state of Michigan." Remington also questioned the statement. "This is all hearsay to me. I understand there may be some exposure in Ohio." said the booklet was approved because it took into account the concerns of Council Republicans. "There was noth- ing the Republicans could really op- pose," Morris said. Though not fully satisfied with the approved booklet, she called it an "im- provement" over the previous version. She will re-introduce an amendment to the booklet informing tenants of their right to make repairs and deduct them from rent payments-in some cases. VERN HUTTON, a local landlord, said he finds the revised booklet an ac- ceptable compromise. "We don't know why they want a referendum on another booklet," he commented. Specifically, the approved booklet contains: " a ::_w section on city housing code requirements; " a new section on unenforceable lease clauses; " a new section on steps a tenant can take to withhold rent; " a more detailed section describing eviction procedures; " an expanded directory of legal assistance; " other revisions to bring the booklet up-to-date. Concessions Democrats made in seeking approval of the booklet by Council Republicans include: " deletion of a section giving samples of legal forms for a notice to quit, notice to end tenancy, summons, complaint, and answer to complaint; changing the word "illegal" to "non-legal" throughout the booklet; " references to "lessor" and "lessee" instead of "landlord" and "tenant"; " references to "third party assistan- ce" instead of "legal assistance." Six thousand copies of the new booklet have been ordered at a cost to the city of about $1,500. Landlords will be required to distribute the booklets to their tenants when printing is com- pleted within the next few weeks.
