REPORT ON HOUSE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
In October 1920 the Women’s Section of the Garden Cities and Town
Planning Association appointed a Sub-Committee to report on the methods
and practice of House Property Management, especially with regard to
what is generally called working-class property and management by women.
Having collected evidence from the personal observations of their own
members and the written statements of other investigators, and having
taken evidence also from a leading Woman Sanitary Inspector and from the
first Municipal Woman Housing Officer, the Sub-Committee adopted the
following principle for general recommendation and as a basis of their
Report:
That the management of working-class property should be in the hands
of persons who have had definite training in estate management and in
Social Science.
The points considered and reported on are divided under four heads:
(1) The Classes of Property to be managed.
(2) The Qualifications of Manager and Assistants.
(3) The Training necessary.
(4) Payment.
