RENT AND MORTGAGE INTEREST RESTRICTIONS ACT, 1923.
During the year 122 applications were received from tenants for certificates under
this Act, and in 121 cases certificates were granted specifying the works required to be
executed to put the dwelling houses into a reasonable state of repair.
In accordance with Section 5 of the Act, 22 applications were made by landlords for
the "release" of certificates previously granted to their tenants, the necessary work to the
premises having been carried out.
The nature of the work specified on the certificates embraced such items as repairing,
cleansing, and decorating the walls and ceilings, and, in addition, many items not ordinarily
dealt with by the sanitary inspectors, c.g., repair of chimney flues, stoves, mantel boards, staircase
rails and balusters, door furniture, window fasteners, floor boards, cupboard doors, etc.
In the majority of cases where an examination of premises by an inspector for the
purpose of issuing a certificate under the Act was made, opportunity was also taken of
serving, where applicable, Intimation Notices on the owners for the abatement of nuisances or
for remedying breaches under the Public Health (London) Act, the London County Council
(General Powers) Acts, By-laws, etc.
