The Wheeler-Lea amendment made unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce illegal under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

<h3>What was Federal Trade Commission Act?</h3>

The Federal Trade Commission was founded by the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914, federal legislation of the United States. The Act, which was passed by US President Woodrow Wilson in 1914, forbids unfair business practices and unfair techniques of competition.

Unfair or misleading acts or practices in or affecting commerce are prohibited by Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) (15 USC 45). All individuals engaged in business, including banks, are subject to the restriction.

The Federal Trade Commission Act's Section 5 was modified by the Wheeler-Lea Act of 1938, which made "unfair or misleading acts or practices" and "unfair methods of competition" illegal. Civil penalties were offered for breaking Section 5 orders.

(a) Therefore, the quality of rental housing falls because of the lower price of the apartment. As this will become less profitable for the landlords, so they are least interested in the maintenance of the apartments.

(b) This will also lead to develop black market. The landlords are trying to fool the higher authorities and rent their apartments at a higher cost because this will be done without any type of legal documentation of the apartments or results from the manipulation of the rules.
