Senate Working On A Bill That Will Check The Incessant Increase In House Rents

The Senate is working on a bill that will check the incessant increase in house rents in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria,

the Senate Committee Chairman on Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, has said.

He stated that the ‘Rent Edit’ bill would protect tenants and landlords even as he promised that lawmakers would ensure the passage of the bill before the end of the 8th Senate.

Melaye disclosed this in a statement issued by the Director of Information at the housing arm of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, Mrs Eno Olotu, in Abuja, yesterday.
