VPRS 11241 Register of Determinations (Rooming Houses Act)

This series contains the master copy of determinations laid down by the Residential Tenancies Tribunal (RTT) in matters heard before it under the Rooming Houses Act (No.33 of 1990). The RTT first sat in this jurisdiction in 1990.The Rooming Houses Act assigns rights and responsibilities to both owners and residents of rooming houses. Under the Act the RTT has responsibility for determining disputes between owners and residents. That Act also defines the powers and jurisdiction of the RTT in determining such disputes and the extent of application of the Residential Tenancies Act 1980 (No.9514) to rooming house disputes.Each record of determination is signed by the member of the Tribunal who made the determination and provides the names of the applicant and respondent, the application number and the Member's legally enforceable decision as to the rights and obligations of the landlord or tenant in respect of each application. The registers therefore provide a record of precedent set by the Tribunal.
