(6) If the Council is not satisfied that the dwelling-house meets the fitness standard for human habitation it will give the landlord notice of its refusal of the application. A copy of this will be sent to the tenant (if any). This notice will state the reasons for refusal, and will also indicate the works which in the opinion of the Council will be necessary for the dwelling-house to meet the fitness standard for human habitation.
In all cases, tenancies will be subject to rent control. An appropriate rent will be set by the Rent Officer for Northern Ireland. This rent will be the maximum which can be charged until the dwelling is brought up to the fitness standard for human habitation and a certificate of fitness is issued by the district council.
