Section 22.—This section amends subsections 2 and 3 of Section
4 of the Requisitioned Houses and Housing (Amendment) Act,
1955, and applies the new rent limit to houses which have been
released from requisition on the owner's undertaking to accept the
occupant as a statutory tenant. Notices of increase of rent up to
this new limit must be served on the local authority as well as on
the tenant, and the local authority must be a party to any agreement
affecting the rent. (Local Authorities are liable under Section 4 (4)
of the Act of 1955 to pay part of the rent in respect of
these houses).
In connection with notices of increase served in respect of
derequisitioned properties, 10 investigations were made into the
department's records of the respective premises.
Houses Let in Lodgings.—Recent legislation in connection
with houses in multiple occupation contained in the Housing Repairs
and Rents Act, 1954, (Sections 11 and 12) has now been superseded
by Sections 36 and 90 of the Housing Act, 1957.
