Remarks.

who have received notice of increase of rent of dwelling-houses to which the Ordinance applies to apply to a judge in Chambers in the Summary Jurisdiction for a final decision as to whether the proposed increase is fair and reasonable.

As enacted by Ordinance No. 5 of 1939.

Section 6 of the 1938 Ordinance as re- numbered by section 3 of Ordinance No. 5 of 1939, which related to refer- ence committees is not re-enacted. It is replaced by a new section which will enable either landlords or tenants to obtain for a small fee of $5, or such other sum as the Governor in Council may prescribe, a Certificate of the Assessor's opinion as to what is a fair and reasonable rent. Such Certificates. are given primâ facie evidential value.

This section is new. It provides a method of service of notices, etc., on sub- tenants. It does not alter the ordinary rules for service on principal tenants. As the Bill confers certain privileges on and protection for sub-tenants, provision for service on them is con- sidered necessary.

As renumbered by Ordinance No. 5 of 1939,

s. 3.

As renumbered by Ordinance No. 5 of 1939, s. 3 and amended by Ordinance No. 19 of 1939, s. 2.
