RENT RESTRICTION ACT.
Under the provisions of litis Act, the tenant of a house may,
on payment of the fee of one shilling, obtain from the Sanitary
Authority an inspection and report upon the condition of his
house, in cases where the landlord has given the tenant notice of
intention to increase the rent. This adds yet another responsibility
to the Public Health Department and its officers.
During the year a total of fifty inspections under its provisions
were made. In 49 instances the premises were found
to be "not in a reasonable state of repair," and certificates
to this effect were granted. In the remaining case the
premises were in "a reasonable state of repair," and a certificate
was refused.
