(Prom Our Correspondent.)
OTAHUHU, this day.
Stating that he had to consider the relative hardships, and that the housing needs of defendant came before the needs of business, Mr. J. G. L. Hewitt, S.M., allowed a tenant three months to obtain another house in a case which was brought under the Fair Rente Act in the Police Court at Otahuhu yesterday. The owners of the house, W. H. and C. G. Whitmore and John W. Andrew and Sons, Limited, sought to obtain possession from the occupier, H. C. Warrington.
Mr. Lovegrove said that his client had bought the property for building purposee and had prepared plans for the erection of a building. However, the tenant had refused to vacate the house, which wae on part of the property, and as a result building operations were being held up. Warrington said that he was willing to vacate the house as soon as he 6btained another one. He was a married man with eight children and found it almost impossible to obtain other accommodation. He had applied for a State house, but did not expect to get one as he had too big a family, and the State required the tenants to have new furniture.
An order for possession in three months time was made.
