"When it comes to landlord-tenant relationships,
the People's Court functions primarily as a rent-collection
and eviction agency. It sees to it that tenants fulfill
their obligations to their landlords or get out. But there
is another side to the coin, and that is the landlords'
obligation to provide their tenants with the safe, sound
and sanitary housing prescribed by city law."
Then the article goes on to describe the judge
and his role in the People's Court. It says:
"Judge Rogers favors some new kind of landlord-
tenant court which would have the powers to fine landlords
for not making repairs or to order their rents withheld
until repairs are made."
Now, this particular right was established in
the State of New York.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Taylor, you have one

DELEGATE L. TAYLOR: In order to wind up, I
would like to say that we have discrimination against the
economically deprived in earlier laws concerning schools.
