A landlady accused of rent overcharges and of taking a cooking range and sink from a community kitchen, disconnecting gas service and denying kitchen privileges to a tenant is named in an action started Sept. 16 in federal court by the Chicago area rent office, through the filing of a case by William F. Morrisey, litigation attorney of the Office of Housing Expediter.
