    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you may find that because of lack of a smooth relationship between the two parties, there are other third parties called brokers, auctioneers, estate agents and so many intermeddlers, including lawyers, who take advantage of the relationship to encourage and make a living out of the dispute. This unnecessary altercation and fights between the two parties is a waste and suffering that can be avoided. I am happy that there is a good attempt that is worthy of our support to address this wastage. There is a good attempt in this piece of legislation to address arbitrariness on the part of landlords, to try and squeeze more money from tenants and get more income from people who may be vulnerable without regarding the fact that there is inflation and generally difficulties and challenges. The aspect of this Bill that mandates or decrees that in order to raise rent, there has to be a process, a form of hearing, engagement and other considerations is highly welcome."
