PM to present rent reforms to Cabinet

Prime Minister Robert Abela will present Cabinet with his plans to reform the pre-1995 rent laws.

Speaking at a party event at Villa Bighi in Kalkara, he said, “We won’t allow anyone to end up homeless, we won’t burden vulnerable people with rent costs they cannot afford, and landlords will be fairly compensated for their properties, as per the principles established by the courts.” 

Dr Abela stressed that this plan will see to it that there is no extra burden on the elderly and vulnerable people.

Rights of owners will also be protected he said with landlords getting more compensation that is appropriate to their property in accordance with the principles already established in our Courts today.
