Increase ok Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Act 1920.
A tenant of a dwelling house of a standard rent or rateable value
of not more than £105 per annum within the Metropolitan Police
Area, may apply to the Sanitary Authority for a certificate stating
that the house is either : (a) not in a reasonable state of repair, or
(b) is not fit fpr human habitation.
During the year 7 applications for such certificates were received
and in 4 cases a certificate was granted by the Sanitary Authority
that the premises were not in a reasonable state of repair.
In respect of these latter premises notices were served upon the
owners calling upon them to remedy the defects found, and in all
instances these notices have been complied with.
Re-Drainage of Property.
Thirty-three houses have been entirely or partially re-drained in
the course of the year. This work involves a considerable amount of
time and careful attention, and 208 inspections have been made in
connection therewith.
