Mr. Bruno's proposal to eliminate all rent control and stabilization laws in two years is far too abrupt.

Rents were low, and protected by rent control and rent stabilization laws.

Rent control and rent stabilization laws keep rents low, discouraging residential building of all kinds.

The stabilization law initially applied to about 325,000 apartments built after Feb. 1, 1947, and to 75,000 that had emerged from rent control for various reasons.

Under the law, the landlord can show rents for comparable apartments to justify the establishment of the initial rent under stabilization laws.
