What action is to be taken concerning unfit houses is governed by the
costs of the necessary works. Unless the house is capable at reasonable expense
of being rendered fit' action must be in the direction of closing or demolition.
'Reasonable expense' has never been defined and with restrictions on rents and
the high cost of repairs, its interpretation is far from easy, but the Housing
Act, 1957 has defined the matters to be taken into consideration in assessing
fitness for human habitation.
