The Kaduna State House of Assembly has begun deliberations on a proposed bill aimed at regulating residential rental charges. Sponsored by Speaker Yusuf Dahiru Liman, the legislation seeks to protect tenants from excessive cost increases while maintaining a balance that does not discourage private investment in the housing sector. Stakeholders, including landlords, developers, and tenant associations, have been invited to a public hearing to review the bill’s provisions and examine the drivers of rising housing costs in the state.
