Holding
The tenant's rent is hereby increased to Kshs.13,600/- with effect from the month of October 2021.
Facts
The tenant and landlord had a dispute over rent terms. The landlord increased the rent from Kshs.10,500/- to Kshs.18,600/-, which the tenant opposed. The tenant filed a reference to the Rent Tribunal, which ordered the tenant to continue paying Kshs.10,500/- pending the hearing and determination of the reference.
Issues
- Whether the landlord's demand for an increase in rent is justified
- Whether the tenant should continue paying the current rent pending the hearing
Reasoning
The landlord's valuation report recommended a rent of Kshs.13,600/-, which was adopted by the Tribunal due to the report being more recent than the tenant's valuation.
Outcome
The tenant's reference is hereby dismissed with no orders as to costs.
Orders
- The tenant's rent is hereby increased to Kshs.13,600/- with effect from the month of October 2021.
