Landlords and tenants are being encouraged to utilise the dispute resolution services of the Rent Assessment Board (RAB) within the Ministry of Housing, Urban Renewal, Environment and Climate Change.

“The purpose of the RAB is to serve as an unbiased party in settling disputes between tenants and landlords as guided by the Rent Restriction Act. I want to encourage landlords and tenants who are having a dispute to contact the Rent Assessment Board. We are a quasi-judicial body and that means the Board has both judicial hearings (twice per month) and mediation sessions for landlords and tenants in dispute,” Director in the Rent Service Unit, Shenese Williams-Headlam, told JIS News.
