ANNEXURE “ C ”.

R e p o r t oe t h e R e n t R e st r ic t io n Su b -Co m m it t e e .

A. Of the two motions passed on October 6, 1937, viz., (1) that a Rent Restriction Ordinance should be introduced more or less in accordance with the terms of the draft Ordinance attached to the motion and (2) that the law be amended relating to the assessment of properties m Colombo, the more important is undoubtedly the 2nd motion above-named. After careful consideration, we are o f opinion that the law relating to the assessment of properties m Colombo should be amended in the manner mentioned below. As the law now stands, under section 120 of Ordinance No. 6 of 1910, the Municipality has got the right to ask for returns of the rent or annual value of properties from the owner or occupier only for purposes of valuation. Further the penalty is only a fine not exceeding Rs. 100 for a false return or a refusal to make a return. I f we compare this section 120 with the Local Government Ordinance, No. 11 o f 1920, sections 179 and 180, it will be seen that so far as District Councils are concerned, the Local Authority has got much wider power. We are therefore of opinion that section 120 should be repealed and the law be amended giving— (1) the Municipality power to revise the assessments of properties in Colombo periodically, say once in every 5 years, ward by ward ; ■ (2) whenever the Municipality has given notice of such revision m any ward, the Municipal Assessor or the Commissioner should be given the power to require the owner, occupier, and tenant o f every house, 1 building, or land to furnish a return o f the rent or annual value thereof, the penalty for a refusal or for false return being Rs. 500 or six months’ rigorous imprisonment; (3) the power to call for returns should not only be for the purpose o f the periodical assessment, but also at any time and from time to time for the purpose of “ the ascertainment of any information which in the opinion o f the Commissioner shall be necessary ” (see section 179 o f Ordinance No. 11 of 1920) ; (4) the Municipality should be given the right to enter and inspect and survey any house, building, or land at reasonable times ; (5) the Municipality should have the right also to summon and question any occupier, owner, or tenant of the house, land, or building for the above purposes with the same penalty mentioned above. (6) W e are o f opinion that objections to assessments should not be heard by the Assessment Department but by an independent Committee composed, say of three Members, to be appointed from amongst the Members o f the Municipal Council as well as from outside the Council.

This Committee should also have the power o f hearing proposals for the reduction o f the assessments for the following year made by any person to the Assessment Department provided that such application shall be heard by the Committee only if the Assessment Department is not satisfied with the evidence placed before it for the proposed reduction o f assessment. I f the Assessing Department is satisfied that the proposed reduction o f the assessment for the following year is justified on the evidence placed before it, the necessary alteration can be made for the next year. If the Assessing Department is not so satisfied, there should be a right o f appeal to the Committee. There should be a right of action in a Court of Law for the purpose of testing the decision of the Committee, as in the existing law. Pabt I. (General) — CEYLON GOVERNMENT GAZETTE — April 21, 1939 621

B. As regards the first motion, we have had several representations from landlords, but only one on behalf of the tenants of small buildings. The draft Ordinance was based on legislation passed in India, Rangoon, and Singapore, and a notice was published inviting criticism from the public. It was not meant to be passed intact as it stood, but was drafted with the object of inviting public comments. We are satisfied that it will not be advisable to pass the bill as drafted for the reasons given by the landlords. In spite, however, o f the vehement protests o f the landlords, we are firmly convinced that some relief should be given to the tenants of small buildings. Such relief cari be given without unsettling the existing law to a great extent. 1. (a) In the first place, we think the Small Tenements Ordinance, No. 11 o f 1882, should be amended m two respects. The word “ tenement ” should mean a house or other building or room which may be rented, exclusive of all taxes, rates and assessments, for a sum of not exceeding Rs. 30 instead of Rs. 20 as at present. (6) Some provision should be made in the Small Tenements Ordinance introducing the English Law relating to Landlords’ lien. We understand that owing to a decision of the Supreme Court a landlord has no right to stop a tenant from removing his furniture for arrears of rent due unless he has obtained an order of Court to back him up. We think that power should be given to landlords to stop the removal of property by a tenant who tries to evade payment of arrears of rent. 2. No landlord should have the right to increase the rent of a tenement, the monthly rental of which is Rs. 30 or under, above the assessed annual rent as assessed in the Municipal books, without getting the permission of the Municipal Magistrate. Such application should be dealt with summarily after notice to the tenants and the Municipal Authorities. Similarly no landlord should have the right to bring an action m any Civil Court m Ceylon to recover any sum above the assessed monthly rent as rent without getting the special permission o f the Municipal Magistrate as stated above. 3. No action to recover rent m respect of a tenement not assessed with a separate number in the Municipal Assess­ ment books should be allowed to be brought m any Civil Court, except with the previous sanction of the Municipal Magistrate obtained as stated above. This is to prevent a dwelling house being divided into cubicles for the purpose of being let. 4. A right of appeal should be provided from the decision of the Municipal Magistrate, say to the Commissioner of the Court of Requests, the party appealing furnishing security in a sum not exceeding Rs. 25, the cost of appeal being taxed as in an ordinary action in a Court of Requests. , 5. There should be provision made that no premium is to be chargeable in respect of a tenancy and a penalty provided for disturbance of easements by the landlord in order to get rid of an unsatisfactory tenant.

C. If this report is approved or modified by the Municipal Council, a draft bill or bills will be drafted by the Special •Committee in terms o f the resolution.
