• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: It provides for predictability, both for the landlords and tenants. You cannot be living in a house and tomorrow upon waking up, someone tells you they have increased the rent by 100 per cent. This will not happen when this critical Bill comes to effect. If you proceed further in Part IV of the Bill, it provides how eviction orders come into effect. This is because there might be some rogue tenants who do not want to pay rent and this is provided for here and in page 7 of our Report. This Part further provides for the powers of ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: hearings and how were they solved? In the proposed in the Bill, the tribunal is insufficient. What tribunal has been proposed? They proposed the Chair and four other Members, making them five. Of course, they gave qualifications to do this, but this was not the issue.

We found that that was very good because we were ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Number two and very important issue that also came was that the Bill is insufficient in addressing the procedures on how you raise a complaint and resolve an issue. For example, if you are a landlord and there is a problem and you raise a problem – this is because if you look at the Bill as it is, very carefully, they might do what we call ping pong.

• 29 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: There were a lot of gaps. We asked ourselves, so what do we do? We went through all the Acts of Parliament that are being proposed to be deleted and we found one that provides for a fair way of resolving these issues. That was Distress for Rent Act. We agreed as a Committee and also the public that appeared before us that we need to retain that Act. We will propose that we delete the provision that is proposing the repealing of that Act so that we can retain it. Therefore, even in our proposals or recommendations in our ... view
