A member of the Lagos House, Sa’ad Olumoh, has moved a motion seeking to curb excessive rent increment by Landlords in the State.
According to him, Section (37) of the Tenancy Law of Lagos State 2015, made provision against unreasonable increase in rent by landlords and provided access to court for tenants seeking the protection of the Law against such unreasonable increase in rent, thus making it illegal.
