Does tenancy law in your country favour a tenant or landlord?

[Niyi Briggs]

The interplay between landlords and tenant can get to the point where a court case is needed to resolve.

The question is who does the law favor in these kind of cases? In my country, the tenant is seen as vulnerable. The law is heavily tilted to favour the tenant.

Who does it favour in your country?

It neither favors tenants nor landlords. It treats landlords and tenants equally. Noone should have privilege in the eyes of law.

 

[Shavkat]

It depends on certain situations. The faults need to be check or recheck if the tenant or landlord committed it or not. Most of the time, the law sided usually the tenants.

How I wish it was like this where I live

The law in my place naturally favors the tenants 100%. In my place, you cannot evict a tenant just like that. He must comfortably get a house before you evjct him.

My friend was given a quit notice yesterday and when he called his lawyer, his landlord was given an order to let him stay in the apartment for 3 months rent free.

I think it favors tenants because whenever you are giving a quit notice there is always three months extension. So it is very good for tenants and also good for landlords in some cases.

It is also the same thing here in my country, the Philippines. The landlord cannot force his or her tenants to pay the rental the delayed fees. In addition, the landlord cannot force them to leave the rental place.

I think the law favors the tenants than the landlord. Because if a tenant is to be given a quick notice to leave a house, he will be given at least three months to pack out. And doing this time, he will not pay house rent

in some countries the law mostly favours the tenants because some landlords can be very harsh whenever you are living in their house. It protects the tenants from danger actually.

Do people actually obey these laws in Nigeria? In most cases the law seems to favor the ones with more money in their pockets than the next person. This is just the painful truth.

Over here in my country, the landlord have full control of anything that has to do with the tenant that lives in his building and he doesn't answer to any law.

It is not true. There are tenancy laws but it is not implemented. If you are a landlord and you mess up with the tenant who knows his or her right, you would go down for it.

 

[Stardom22]

In my country that law favours the tenants so much. In a matter of fact most landlords seem to opress their tenants over the rent payment issues and that's why the tenancy law comes in place.

 

[IB D]

In my country, if you give a tenant a quit notice, the tenant has to stay in your house free for 6 months to find a new house. That favors the tenants.

 

[SHAHID987]

Tenancy law is in favour of tenant but usually people are not observing it, there must not be increase the 10% rent on every year, it should be increase after 3 years but tenant get the threat as if you will not increase rent you see other house.

 

[Stardom22]

In my country, if you give a tenant a quit notice, the tenant has to stay in your house free for 6 months to find a new house. That favors the tenants.

In my country if you give the tenant a quick notice like that you have to they entitled to live in the house for free for three months before they can vacate to a new house. The law favours them

 

[Yohanna]

The tenancy law favour the tenants more than the landlords.

In your country there seems to be much opression of the tenants. Where on earth does that? I say there must set laws and guidelines that can govern the housing sector in each country.
