The restriction for a tribunal to hear disputes between landlords and tenants for rent that does not exceed Sh2,500 will be scrapped if Parliament adopts a proposed law that seeks to protect more tenants.

The government-backed Landlord and Tenant Bill of 2021 proposes to abolish the restriction, setting the stage for the tribunal to hear and determine cases whose rent limit will now be set by the Cabinet Secretary.
