Rent Restrictions (Continuance and Amendment) Act, 1957

In short

This law extends the Rent Restrictions Act of 1946 and allows landlords to increase rent for certain repairs made in 1957 and 1958.

What it regulates

The continued operation of the Rent Restrictions Act, 1946.
Lawful additions to rent for specific repairs by landlords.
The period during which these rent additions can be made.
The collective citation and construction of rent restriction laws.

Who it concerns

Landlords of controlled premises.
Tenants of controlled premises.

Key points

The Rent Restrictions Act, 1946, will remain in effect until December 31, 1958.
If a landlord spends more than two-thirds of the basic rent on repairs to bring controlled premises into a reasonable state during 1957 and 1958, they can add a sum to the basic rent.
This additional sum is calculated according to a scale in the Rent Restrictions (Amendment) Act, 1949.
This Act is to be read together with the Rent Restrictions Acts, 1946 to 1956, as one law.
