Tenant law outlines the rights and responsibilities of renters and landlords. It ensures a fair living situation for both parties.
Agreements: Leases should be written and registered for all rentals.
Landlord Duties: They collect rent, maintain the property (unless excluded in the agreement), and provide a copy of the registered lease and rent receipts. Eviction is only allowed for valid reasons.
Tenant Duties: Pay rent on time, take good care of the property, and enjoy peaceful living. Tenancy might be inheritable in some cases.
Rent Control: The agreement sets the initial rent. Increases require notice from the landlord (unless otherwise stated).
Disputes: The Rent Authority helps settle disagreements.
