Rent Matters

Rent Matters

The Pakistan Law Commission has taken notice of the fact that there is a general complaint about inordinate delays in the disposal of rent cases and implementation of the Courts’ orders passed in those cases. On the one hand, some tenants are interested in retaining possession of the rented premises and, for that purpose, exploit the procedural loopholes in the Rent Laws to prolong the litigation. At the same time, on the other, there are certain landlords who,  in order to get the maximum amount of rent, try to eject one tenant after the other with the intention of increasing the rent of the premises substantially on each such occasion.
