Modern Tenancy Bill
The long pending Modern Tenancy Bill may finally be introduced in the Assembly’s Budget session this February.
Notably, the bill remained at the discussion stage for the last two to three years. During this period, the department has seen multiple leadership changes, but the fate of the bill remained uncertain.
The bill contains several provisions to address issues concerning tenants and landlords. It also seeks to address landlords’ concerns that tenants may unlawfully occupy their properties.
