Navigating Filing Disputes at The Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT)
It is astonishing that majority of business owners in Kenya who have rented commercial spaces in major cities and towns across country are not aware of their legal rights when Landlords purport to breach their rights. Since 2020, Landlords have been accused of removing roofs with intent of frustrating rent defaulters to vacate the business premises while others mounting barriers at the entrances of the suit premises. These actions have left a large number of Tenants in utter confusion after forceful eviction. Others are left without knowing where to begin when their tools of trade have long been carted away for public auction.
