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 there are some tenants who are interested in retaining the possession of the rented premises and for that purpose exploit the procedural loop-holes in the Rent Laws to prolong the litigation, while, 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.
