Many residents in Shardja are faced with the issue of unexpected increases in rental payments when extending contracts without prior notice. They note that rental companies and property owners introduce conditions in rental agreements that exclude the interests of tenants, requiring tenants to receive prior notice of the eviction of units within one or three months, while also making sudden increases in rental rates without prior notification.
An example is provided by master Mohamed Abdulkhamid, who notes that some companies implement similar conditions in contracts, leaving little time for tenants to make decisions. They consider this approach unfair and financially burdensome, as tenants have to either agree to a significant rent increase or look for new housing in shorter time frames.
According to experts in the real estate field, companies have the right to establish additional conditions in contracts in accordance with their policies. However, standard practice suggests prior notification to tenants about upcoming increases in rent before the end of the rental term. According to specialists, this information helps tenants prepare for changes in financial terms and make informed decisions: to accept new conditions or start searching for another place.
The land service and housing construction in Shardja remind that according to legislation, landlords are not allowed to increase the rent for three years from the date the contract is concluded. Also, landlords are obligated to inform tenants about a possible increase in rent no less than three months before the end of the third year from the start of the contract.
Thus, the situation with unforeseen rental increases during contract extensions continues to cause distress among tenants. The absence of prior notification and unexpected financial obligations place them in a difficult position, forcing them to make decisions under the conditions of a lack of time and resources. Therefore, it is important that standard notifications and consultations are provided to tenants in advance so that they can make informed and substantiated decisions regarding their housing situation.
