THE Shura Council has rejected proposed parliamentary amendments to the 2014 Rents Law seeking to regulate the handover of leased properties when landlords refuse to accept them, and to limit the automatic renewal of lease agreements to one year.
During its weekly session yesterday, the upper chamber of the National Assembly approved the recommendation of its public utilities and environment affairs committee to reject the bill in principle, arguing that its objectives were already being met through existing legislation, particularly the Civil and Commercial Procedures Law .
