AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LANDLORD AND TENANT ORDINANCE 1952.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 10 of 1952

	The amendments made by this Ordinance incorporate into the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance of the Territory the substance of the National Security (War Service Moratorium) Regulations, which will not be continued in force after the end of 1952, subject to the following variations:—

	(1)  The protection granted to ex-servicemen of the 1939-1945 war is extended 		to members of special overseas forces in Korea and Malaya.

	(2)  Regulation 30B of the National Security (War Service Moratorium) 			Regulations, which dealt with rentals of farms, and Regulations 30C, 		which dealt with a special type of case which had arisen in South 			Australia, are not being incorporated, as it is considered that they have 		no application to the circumstances of the Territory.

	(3)  Certain dependants of ex-servicemen of the 1914-1918 war, who were 		protected by the National Security (War Service Moratorium) 			Regulations, will not be protected under the Ordinance as amended.  It 		is thought that they were covered inadvertently in the Regulations.  		The ex-serviceman of the 1914-18 war was himself not protected by 		those Regulations, which were designed to protect servicemen and ex-		servicemen of the 1939-1945 war and their dependants.
