Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1881

Power of court, on application for the determination of a judicial rent, to impose conditions as to labourers cottages.

10 & 11 Vict. c. 32.

19. [1] Where an application is made to the court for the determination of a judicial rent in respect of any holding, the court, if satisfied that there is a necessity for improving any existing cottages or building any new cottages, or assigning to any such cottage an allotment not exceeding half an acre, for the accommodation of the labourers employed on such holding, may, if it thinks fit, in making the order determining such rent, add thereto the terms as to rent and otherwise on which such accommodation for labourers is to be provided by the person making the application.

Where upon any such application the court requires the tenant of the holding to improve any existing cottage, or to build any new cottage, such tenant shall be deemed to be a person to whom a loan may be made under the Landed Property Improvement (Ireland) Acts for the improvement or building of dwellings for labourers, as if such person were an owner within the meaning of the seventh section of the Landed Property Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1847; but any such loan may be made for a less sum than the sum of one hundred pounds.
