Have you ever missed the deadline for paying your rent? Landlords have in many ways devised means to make tenants succumb to pressure eventually paying. Some add extra padlocks while others resolve on even removing the iron sheets.
But do you know you can find solace from the courts?
Disputes over rent payments and the operations of Saving and Credit Co-operative Societies (saccos) form the highest number of cases filed with tribunals in Kenya, a new report from the Judiciary has shown.
Out of about 60 tribunals, those handling disputes between landlords and tenants in business premises and rental houses were the most frequented by Kenyans followed by those pitting members against cooperative societies.
“Rent Restriction Tribunal had the highest number of filed cases followed by Cooperative Tribunal and Business Premises Tribunal,” says a latest performance report by the Judiciary.
