On notice from the County Council that a family living in
overcrowded conditions has moved to a house on their estates,
measures are taken to prevent the vacated premises again becoming
overcrowded. In no instance has any re-overcrowding of vacated
premises taken place.
Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest Restriction
Acts.
Under the provisions of these Acts increases of rent are permitted
to be made by landlords, and tenants who consider that their
houses are not in all respects reasonably fit for human habitation,
may apply to the Local Authority for a certificate to this effect,
which will enable them to suspend payment of the increase of rent
until the necessary work to put the premises into a good state of
repair has been completed.
