REGULATIONS TO PROTECT K FORCE ARE GAZETTED
WELLINGTON, Last Night (P.A.). —The Minister of Labour (Mr. Sullivan) today announced the issue of regulations entitled the Emergency Forces Tenancy Regulations, 1950, under part 111 of the Emergency Forces Act, 1950.
They make special provision as to the circumstances in which a landlord may obtain an order of a court for the recovery of possession of premises from a tenant where servicemen or their families are concerned. They are similar to the provisions formerly contained in section 28 of the Tenancy Act, 1948, (now repealed). That section applied to servicemen of the World War 11, and was limited to dwelling-houses. Under these regulations, which extend to urban properties as well, a serviceman is a person who after August 28, 1950, has served outside New Zealand in any New Zealand or Commonwealth force during a United Nations emergency or has undergone training in New Zealand for such service. The regulations will cease to apply one year after the end of the serviceman’s whole time service or his death on service, whichever is the later.
