I am the author of this piece and this was my first contribution to Wikipedia. It was originally written as part of a guide for Rent Officers (described in the text)when I was a council member of the Institute of Rent Officers (described in the text), a member of their Education Committee and editor for many years of their quarterly journal. I mention this because it seems that some acreditation for the authenticity of the piece is required. Until I retired I was Chief Rent Officer for the City of Westminster and the City of London rent registration areas. I have updated the piece recently through contact with still-serving Rent Officers. I started to re-format it in Wikipedia style which was a pain. When I returned to it after a short break I noticed it had already been edited by someone else. I am extemely grateful to whoever has done this which has excellently captured my own intentions. Thank you. It does not seem to be Wikipedia etiquette to reveal the names of contributors and editors so I hope these few words of thanks will be read by who ever deserves them!

I shall now proceed with the Scottish version which is only in printed form and which will have to have optical character recognition treatment first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortal8 (talk • contribs) 11:38, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

It's really great work, and I'm certainly incredibly glad to have it here. I've been writing English land law, and the historical background of rent regulation is very useful indeed. It would also be great to know what reference books you'd recommend for this same topic. Wikidea 14:34, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
