The major new provisions of the Act were:

  • The protection of the Rent Restriction Acts was given to both landlords and tenants sharing certain types of accommodation.
  • Rent tribunals were given the power to extend the security of lease given to tenants indefinitely, in three-month periods, and to review lettings made for the first time since September 1939.
  • Tribunals could now review the premiums paid for accommodation as well as the rent itself, and payments for furniture and other articles. Excess premiums could be recoverable by a reduction in rent.
