The proposed Landlord and Tenant Bill, which is yet to be discussed by Cabinet, aims to safeguard both the tenant and landlord’s interests.

The proposed bill which will see landlords get a permit first from relevant authorities before they can hike house rent is aimed at cushioning Kenyans from exploitation by property owners.

The proposed bill will also obligate tenants to give three months notice before vacating any house.

Lastly, this proposed bill aims at giving guidelines on how house agents should operate in Kenya. Currently anyone can become an agent with no clearly defined regulations.

Watch out for tomorrow's analysis of each of the above  clauses and how they affect you at a personal level.
