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 empowered under Section
4 (4) of the Act of 1955 to pay part of the rent in respect of
these houses).
No investigations were made in connection with notices of
increase served in respect of derequisitioned properties.
Noise Abatement Act, 1960.—Local authorities have been
empowered to deal with noise or vibration as a statutory nuisance
under this Act from 27th November, 1960.
Borough Council byelaws concerning pleasure parties and
street noises are already in existence and these are unaffected by
the new legislation.
