RENT (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1978 - SECT 12



12.(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the fact that part of the premises comprised
in a dwelling-house is used as a shop or office or for business, trade or
professional purposes shall not prevent the dwelling-house from being let on a
protected tenancy or subject to a statutory tenancy.

(2) Paragraphs (3) to (5) apply, subject to paragraph (6), where, immediately
before the commencement of this Order, part ("the non-residential part") of a
house to which the Rent Restriction Acts applied was used as a shop or office
or for business, trade or professional purposes.

(3) Where it is possible to enter the house (excluding the non-residential
part) otherwise than through the non-residential part, Articles 3 and 4 shall
apply to the house as if the Rent Restriction Acts applied only to so much of
the house as excludes the non-residential part.

(4) Where paragraph (3) does not apply, Articles 3 and 4 shall apply to the
entire house.

(5) In the application of Article 7(2) as respects any such house as is
referred to in paragraph (2), the non-residential part shall be left out of
account.

(6) A tenancy of a dwelling-house which consists of or comprises premises
licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors for consumption on the premises
shall not be a protected tenancy, nor shall such a dwelling-house be the
subject of a statutory tenancy.

Para.(7) substitutes s.2(1)(a) of 1964 c.36 (NI)
