• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, clause 29 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by deleting the words “other than change of user” appearing immediately after the word “purpose” in paragraph (b). Our motive is simple. It is to allow the landlord who requires a possession of the property for purposes of conversion through change of user to give a notice in this regard so that it does not do without the notice. Thank you. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended— (a) in subclause 2 by inserting the words “on the recommendation of a practicing valuer” immediately after the word “tenancy” appearing in paragraph (a); (b) in subclause (3)(a)(i) by deleting the words “two years” and substituting therefor the words “one year”. The motive upon which we decided to do that is to require the tribunal to consult a practicing valuer before deciding on any rent payable. Thank you. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 44 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by deleting the words “not less than” appearing immediately after the words “law in force, on giving”. The import of the amendment is to prescribe a definite notice period upon the lapse of tenancy. The amendment requires a person retaining possession of premises after the lapse of tenancy to give either the notice specified in the previous agreement, which is one month’s notice in the case of residential business and two months in the case of commercial business. Thank you. view

Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 46 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “except for” immediately after the words “the tenancy” appearing in paragraph (b); (b) inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after sub-clause (2)— “(3) A landlord shall provide a tenant with receipts for reasonable expenses incurred for repairing premises that the landlord proposes to deduct from any security deposit held.” There are two reasons or imports. One, is to insert the missing words for purposes of clarity in sub-clause (1). The second import is to require a ... view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there is no fixed cost when repairing a house. The law states that if you want to increase rent, you must have made some improvements to the house, such as repairs. Therefore, they should be reasonable. If you go to fundis, one will say this and another will say the other. Therefore, that should not be unreasonable. That is the best way. We are human beings. view
• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 50 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c)— “(d) knowingly serves a notice containing false or misleading information,”. Our reasoning is to include offences and penalties contained in Clauses 23 and 43(2) in Clause 50 for logical flow of the Bill.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, our import is as follows. One is to require a landlord to keep a register of their tenants’ next of kin so that we can avoid a lot of issues if what we have just passed happens. ... view

• 24 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The reason is to require the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to seek the approval of the National Assembly whenever he/she seeks to exempt any premises from the provisions of this Act. The original Bill did not give this provision, which means the CS can do anything at any time. We do not want that to happen. There should be checks and balances. view
