EVICTION OF NON-PAYING TENANTS TO BE MADE EASIER IN CYPRUS
Parliament is set to pass an amendment to the rent control law next month that would make it easier for landlords to evict tenants who fall into arrears or deliberately don’t pay.
Landlords will no longer be obliged to provide evidence that tenants are inconsistent towards their rent obligations, which made eviction of occupants, a near-impossible task and encouraged people not to pay up.
The amendment, which essentially shifts the burden of proof on to the tenant, will be put to the vote on 22 November with a majority in agreement with the new law.
