10
Dear Sir,
I am directed by the Minister for Justice to refer to
your letter of 13th February, 1970 (EAP. L/5. L/55/70),
and earlier correspondence concerning Section 10 of the
Rent Restrictions (Amendment) Act, 1967. The question
of the amendment of this section was discussed at a
meeting between representatives of this Department and
representatives of the Incorporated Law Society on 20th
December 1968. An amendment of the section on the
lines indicated in the course of that discussion has been
made by Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant
(Amendment) Act, 1971, which became law on December
7th. The amending provision is designed not only to
relieve owner-occupiers of controlled dwellings of the
necessity (imposed on them in many cases by Section 10
of the 1967 Rent Act) to obtain the landlord's consent
to an assignment of the dwelling, but also to validate
any assignments that may have been made void by
Section 10 of the 1967 Act.

Section 10 of the Landlord and Tenant (Amend–
ment) Act, 1971, revives, for a period of one year froIll
7th December 1971 (i.e. the date of the passing of the
Act), the spent provisions contained in Section 8 (IA) of
the Rent Restrictions Act, 1960. These provisions were
inserted in Section 8 of the Act of 1960 by Section 4 (1)
of the Rent Restrictions (Amendment) Act, 1967, and
in accordance with Section 4 (3) of the 1967 Act they
had a life of two years which expired on 8th May 1969.
Section 10 of the 1971 Act is designed to enable "small"
landlords who come within its provisions to have certain
basic rents revised during a further period of one year
from 7th December 1971. This matter also has been the
subject of correspondence and your letter of 13th May
,1969 (EAP. L5/69) refers together with reply dated 4th
June 1969. In the course of the final debate in Seanad
Eireann (1st December 1971) on the Bill of the 1971
Act Senator O'Higgins stressed the desirability of giving
publicity to the provision for reviving Section 8 (IA)
of the 1960 Rent Act and suggested that the Incor–
porated Law Society might bring the matter to the
notice of its members. The Minister wishes to draw this
suggestion to
th~
Society's attention.
Yours faithfully,
R.
