The Council's existing policy, namely, that landlords should
be required to provide dustbins, unless in any particular case good
reason can be shown to the contrary, has upon occasion resulted in
difficulties in the Court proceedings. It was therefore recommended
that a change of policy should be formulared by the Council and that
in those cases where the controlled rent under the Rent Restrictions
Act is based upon the 1914 rent, the tenant be required to provide
the new dustbin. In other cases the landlord should be required
to provide it. This is the present practice of the Council and unless
some amendment is made to the Public Health Act or the Council
decide to change its policy, it will be adhered to.
