“ Where a dwelling-house is occupied by two or more separate lessees, the court shall determine the fair rent of the whole, and then determine the proportion of such fair rent which it shall deem to be the fair rent of the portion of the dwelling-house of the lessee making the application. ”

“ If any applicant being a lessee duly pays the rent of the dwelling-house leased by him, and otherwise performs the conditions of his lease, the lessor shall not demand any increased rent or give any notice or take any proceedings to terminate the tenancy during the pendency of the application nor for three months thereafter without reasonable cause. ”

“ Such capital value shall be the unimproved value of the land, being the capital sum which the fee simple of the land might be expected to realise if offered for sale on such reasonable terms and conditions as a bona fide seller would require, assuming that the improvements if any thereon or appertaining thereto had not been made plus the estimated cost of erecting a similar dwelling-house thereon at the time of the receipt of such application, less such fair and reasonable sum as may be estimated for any depreciation. ”
