83Duty of landlord to inform local authority of overcrowding
Where it comes to the knowledge of the landlord of a dwelling-house or of his agent that it is overcrowded then, unless notice thereof has already been given to the local authority, the landlord or his agent, as the case may be, shall within seven days after that fact first comes to his knowledge give notice thereof to them, and if he fails so to do he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding two pounds:
Provided that this section shall not apply to overcrowding which existed on the appointed day, or has been notified to the landlord or to his agent by the local authority, or is constituted by the use of the house for sleeping by such number of persons as the occupier is authorised to permit to sleep there by a licence in force under this Part of this Act.
