The benefits included in the sale and conveyance of sites by the Corporation under section 7 of the Principal Act.
A temporary right for tenants to deduct local rates from rent under specific conditions.
The meaning of "Lands Clauses Acts" in the Schedule to the Principal Act.

Who it concerns

The Corporation, concerning the sale of sites.
Tenants and landlords of buildings or houses affected by Section 9 of the Principal Act.

Key points

The Minister's powers under section 7 of the Principal Act can be exercised after three months from the passing of this Act.
Sales of sites by the Corporation must include compensation decrees with a full reinstatement condition or a judge's report relating to such a condition.
Tenants can deduct local rates from rent for the period between April 1, 1924, and March 31, 1926, if the landlord was contracted to pay those rates before the building's destruction.
The "Lands Clauses Acts" in the Principal Act's Schedule now include the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act, 1919.
