You have 10 Days !

[kymnjoro]

Kenyans have 10 days to submit memoranda on a Bill that seeks to protect tenants from arbitrary changes by landlords.

The Senate has asked the public to submit views on the Landlord and Tenant Bill, 2021 that if enacted into law will give the government power to cap rent increases on commercial and residential premises.

The National Assembly passed the Bill and forwarded it to the Senate for input as it affects functions of county governments.

“Pursuant to provisions of Article 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order 140(5)…the committee on Roads and Transportation now invite interested members of the public to submit any representation that they may have on the Bill by way of written memoranda,” Jeremiah Nyegenye, the Clerk of the Senate said in a public notice.

As a landlord nifanye nini
that bill should also protect landlords from tenants who refuse to pay.
The gava should control fuel not houses that operate on demand supply basis

We should have controls and guidance for both parties.
We cannot operate by jungle rules.
Don't mix issues of fuel and housing bana. You're smarter.

Tenancy is a private agreement between the landlord and the tenant.
Sioni where the government comes in.

They're not controlling prices but rather putting measures to avoid exploitation. Same as bread, you can't wake up tomorrow and say 400g is now 100 bob, similarly ,you've to justify why you suddenly increase rent from 20k to 35k and demand payments promptly. For years tenants have been at the mercies of landlords, from locking kids in houses, removing roofs etc. For a functional society, there must be some regulations to bring civility to both parties. Fyi everything operates on demand and supply basis, we're a capitalist society but,in capitalism we also have regulations.

I hope you've sent your views

Aren't all agreements private but subject to government regulations?

Has to be governed by rules that both parties abide to. To protect each other from injustice.
Everything we do as humans has to be governed by some sought of order through religion or common sense or humanity but since we are diverse, our common governing becomes the govt.
