Extreme heat has blasted Asia from India to the Philippines in recent weeks, triggering heatstroke deaths, school closures and desperate prayers for cooling rain
Dr Salah Al Haj, director-general of Sharjah Municipality, told Khaleej Times that a technical and financial committee had been set up to evaluate the fairness of rent hikes by landlords. He stressed that the new law protects the tenants in two ways. “One, there will be no annual rent hike, and two, the landlords will be curtailed from effecting erratic rent hikes.”
Al Haj was speaking to Khaleej Times following a recent report published in the newspaper. In this report, some residents had expressed concern that the new tenancy law may result in steep increases in rents in the absence of a specific rent cap.
Al Haj pointed out that the law stipulates that landlords shall not increase the rent before the lapse of three years since the commencement of the contract, and every two years afterwards.
