9V copy, DER REICHSMINISTER DER FINANCEN Berlin W 8, 27 July 1939 LG 8020 - 9 I Wilhelmplatz 1/2 Subject: Procurement of apartments for officials of the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia. In order to remedy the housing needs of the officials who work with you, I agree for a transitional period that the Reich will rent suitable buildings or parts of buildings for the accommodation of officials who do not belong to the members of the staff who, for reasons of service, have to live in easily accessible proximity to their department. Where it is necessary, I do not want to raise any concern that suitable property will be purchased. I must leave it to you to check whether there is, or is likely to be, a housing requirement for the officials and whether and to what extent this housing requirement is not covered by the free housing market and is unlikely to be covered in the foreseeable future. The living space created in this way must be managed according to the regulations on Reichsrentwohnungen of January 30, 1937 - RBBl.S. 25 -. Its permanent use must be ensured.
