Rent Restrictions (Notice of Increase) Act, 1923.
Fourteen applications were made by tenants for certificates
under this Act. Two were granted, three were in suspense at the
end of the year, and in the remaining nine cases the work was
carried out by the owners on receipt of my letter notifying them
that a certificate would be issued failing their immediate attention
to the schedule of defects.
