Delays in fair rent decisions hit Canberra housing
Valuers in the Taxation Department face growing delays in determining fair rents for Canberra flats and houses. No formula guides rents yet valuations, for government purchase and rating also stall. Officials say average delays run about six months to 12 weeks, with up to nine new rent determinations daily and four valuers needed, while manpower plans aim to reduce waiting time to about three days once valuations are completed. The Landlord and Tenant Ordinance limits rents to January 1, 1973 levels until determinations are issued.
