The Senate has passed for second reading, a bill seeking to regulate rent payments in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). A Bill for an Act to Regulate the mode of payment of rent on Residential Apartments, Office Spaces, etc in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and for other matters connected therewith, 2022 (SB. 893) This bill was sponsored by Senator Smart Adeyemi (APC, Kogi West). In his lead debate, he said the Bill will make life (less) stressful for the downtrodden in the Federal Capital Territory. "In the FCT, landlords demand between one to three years advance rent. This automatically have a huge burden on the masses. Our economy has not fared better in supporting the advance payment. This tenancy system has continuously impoverish Nigerians. "Many residents of FCT are finding it difficult to cope with huge rent payment therefore legislation must be made towards a better society. "This Bill seeks to reduce advance payment for new tenants to three months, seeks to protect low income earners from any form of oppression, seeks to provide a window of legal action for any form of oppression and a safety net for landlords against any tenant. "This Bill is targeted at making life meaningful for people who voted all of us as lawmakers," he stressed. Some Senators back bill Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC, Niger North) & Deputy Chief Whip of the 9th Senate: Senator Ibrahim Gobir (APC, Sokoto East): Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah (APC, Kebbi South): Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP, Enugu East) oppose bill “The issue of rental payment either in advance or monthly is economical and should be driven by market forces. I therefore oppose and oppose rigorously this Bill.” His position, however, did not stop the passage of the bill for second reading.

But why in the FCT alone? In the neighboring country Benin republic, you can't ask for more than 3 months rent. And it's official. Homelessness is drastically reduced there, simply by that law. In fact, landlords end up making more money at the end of the day. 4 Likes |

Enugu East Senatorial District should be worry the kind of man they sent to senate to represent them. Chimaroke is there just for his own personal interest and not for the masses. We have to be wise up for such a leader. Such a man has no business to represent anyone. We should all use our vote wisely. |
