Description
CAYTON, Chief Judge. This appeal is from an order dismissing a complaint in which plaintiffs sought to recover of their landlords $18,314.54 for various items of overcharge of rent, and for failure to maintain certain minimum service standards under the District of Columbia Emergency Rent Control Act. 1 The complaint charged that whereas on the statutory freeze date, January 1, 1941, the maximum rent ceiling on the house involved was $20 per month, defendant landlords had for sixty months charged them $30 per month. Instead of claiming $1200, which would have been twice the overcharge as authorized by the Act, 2 plaintiffs claimed on this item $3,000.
