to discover directly people’s

improved.

The commission has invi-
ted any group or individual to
make a submission at the
hearing. One group that has
announced its intention of
presenting a brief to the
commissioners -is the North
Shore Tenants Association.

Association spokesman
Ernie Crist said the hearing
would be useful to tenants in -

ing people, single parents
and senior citizens — who
normally are unable to obtain
legal services.

Crist claimed that lack of

adequate legal
under which the ruling of the
Rent Review Commission
could have been sufficiently
challenged, left the tenants
with no option but to pay the
increase — even though it
went against AIB wage and
price guidelines.

Crist also felt the legal
aid to be examined by the
commission would be useful
in casés where a landlord
tries to pressure tenants to
agree to strata title conver-
sion by failing to provide
adequate services. |

‘Although the proper
upkeep of such premises
normally falls within the
jurisdiction of the municipal-
ities,’’ he declared, ‘‘some-
times local councils, because
of their pro-landlord bias, fail
to enforce the bylaw.’’
