Call to Action: Regulate Rising House Rent Costs in Plateau State

As concerned citizens, we urge the Plateau State House of Assembly to introduce legislation addressing the escalating cost of house rent, unchecked proliferation of house agents, and exorbitant fees imposed on tenants.

We propose that the legislative bill considers the following key provisions: 1. Rent control measures to curb rising costs 2. Guidelines for becoming a house agent to prevent tenant exploitation and Proliferation of tenants  3. Standardization of fees to ensure transparency and reasonableness Let us unite to make housing more affordable and accessible in Plateau State.
