Holding

Tenant is entitled to the protection she has sought from the Tribunal.

Facts

Tenant Sharon Olenja was demanding to vacate the premises by 1 February 2023, but landlord Mary Omutsani claimed the tenant was not a tenant and had not paid rent.

Issues

  1. Whether the tenant is entitled to the orders sought in her application

Reasoning

The Tribunal found a controlled tenancy existed between the parties, and the landlord's demand to vacate the tenant was not in writing and did not comply with the mandatory provisions of Section 4(1) and 4(2) of Cap 301.

Outcome

Tenant's application is allowed.
