Business premises rent tribunal in limbo

The 1965 Landlord & Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act, Chapter 301, the Laws of Kenya established what has come to be known as the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT)

For over 40 years, BPRT has served both landlords and tenants all over the country and the adjudicating process of disputes of “controlled tenancies” of business premises falling under the definition of “shop, hotel or catering establishment” has been disposed by the Tribunal with the High Court having appellate and final say in the matters.
