The sponsor of the bill said many residents of FCT are finding it very difficult to cope with huge rent payment, the reason many of the houses built for such purposes are empty.

The bill titled, “Advanced Rent Regulation Bill 2022”, was one of the five bills read for the first time during plenary on Tuesday.The bill, if passed, would make it an offence for any landlord to demand payment of advance rent from tenants.

Mr Adeyemi, who addressed journalists after plenary, said the legislation is borne out of the realisation that landlords in the FCT compel tenants to pay one or two years advance rent payment before granting them keys to their apartments.The law, he said, is targeted at welfare and wellbeing of the downtrodden – majority of whom elected those holding public positions into offices.

“Some landlords always insist their tenants pay for one year or two years rent. That is wrong. By this bill, Nigerians especially Abuja residents will now be paying rent on monthly basis after the expiration of the initial three months. The bill will provide a window of petitioning for any tenants forced to pay rents above three months, he said.
