Consultation Paper on the General Law of the Landlord and Tenant

e recoverable from the date the tenancy ends to the date the premisesare vacated. The Commission provisionally recommends that in allcases the landlord should be entitled to rent until the date a tenancyends, whatever the method of determination, and thereafter should beentitled to mesne rates or profits based upon the current market rentuntil the tenant vacates the premises.H Procedural Matters15.10 The Commission would simply reiterate at this point theneed to rationalise procedures and to consolidate them into a commonset governing the new single form of ejectment proposed earlier. 37 Asalso mentioned earlier, much of the content of sections 52-102 ofDeasy’s Act relate to matters of procedure best left to rules of courts,which can be amended or revised by subsidiary legislation. Part ofthis rationalisation should be to remove anomalies and inconsistencieswhich currently exist between the different forms of ejectment. Infuture an ejectment, whatever the ground upon which it is based,should be available in the District, Circuit or High Court according tothe usual jurisdictional limits and summary orders should be availablewhere the circumstances justify application for such an order. Wherethe tenant takes the view that statutory rights exist, eg to a newtenancy, it should be possible to enter an application by way ofcounterclaim for this, instead of having to issue a new civil bill.37Paragraph 15.04 above.185
