<br />WHEREAS, the governing body of this city has duly considered the situation in reference to rental housing
<br />accommodations within the City of South Bend, and

<br />WHEREAS, an interval of time is likely to exist between the expiration of the present Rent Control Act and a
<br />new Rent Control law (which is expected to be passed by the Congress of the United States), which void will
