HOUSING

(AMENDMENT) ACT,

1948.

THE attention of solicitors is called to Sections 7-15

of the above Statute, which contain provisions which

may require consideration by solicitors advising

vendors and purchasers of house property.

By

Section

2.

the expression " habitable house " means

a house situate in the functional area of a housing

authority which, in the opinion of such authority,

is reasonably fit for human habitation or is reasonably

capable of being rendered so fit.

The joint effect of Sections 7 and 8 of the Act is

to prevent any person from demolishing in whole

or in part or using otherwise than as a dwelling-

house any habitable house, without the permission

of the housing authority in whose functional area

the house is situated. An appeal from refusal of this

permission lies to the Minister for Local Govern

ment.

Section u, which will come into operation on

ist July, 1948, prohibits any person from permitting

premises to be used as a multiple dwelling without

permission in writing of the housing authority in

whose functional area the premises are situated..

Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld

and an appeal from the refusal of permission lies

to the Circuit Court within one month after receiving

notice of such refusal.

Solicitors acting for pur

chasers of premises who intend to use them either

as business premises or for letting purposes would

need to consider carefully the effect of Part II of the

Act.
