Rent Act, 1957
This Act empowers the landlords of dwelling houses to increase
rent provided the property is in good repair. On receipt of a notice
of increased rent from the landlord, the tenant if he considers that
the property is not in good repair, must serve a notice on the landlord
specifying the works he considers should be carried out. If the
landlord does not carry out the works specified or does not give an
undertaking to carry out the work, within six weeks, the tenant
may apply to the Council for a Certificate of Disrepair. This
Certificate if issued will enable the tenant to deduct any increase
already paid from the date of the application to the Council and he
need not pay the increased rent demanded.
There are twenty-one forms specified by the Act for use between
landlord and tenant, the Council may be involved in thirteen of
these. The following action was taken under the Act during 1958:—
