1Opinion of the Court
CAYTON, Chief Judge.
Claiming to have been overcharged for rent and meals, two tenants filed suit against the owner of the Manchester Apartments for double the amount of such alleged overcharge. Code 1940, Supp. VII, § 45-1610. The trial court disallowed the claim for rent overcharge but held that there had been an overcharge of $120 for meals and awarded plaintiffs twice that amount under the Rent Act section above-cited. In appealing, defendant asserts that the judgment cannot stand because it is based on provisions of the Reni Act which are not applicable to her.
