RENT REDUCED.
ORDER BY COURT. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 30. In a reserved judgment of considerable interest to property owners and tenants, Mr J. H.. Luxford, S.M., reduced the rent of premises from £2 7s 6d per week to either 30s or £2 per week according to whether certain minor repairs are effected by October 12. Mr Luxford said that the Court could properly give effect to the Act in cases where a house was not in proper repair by making an appropriate specified reduction in the weekly rental, a new order being granted when the repairs were effected. The tenant in this particular case was justified in complaining about a number of small matters and the Magistrate, therefore, ordered a special reduction of rent until the repairs are effected.
