Landlords, tenants encouraged to seek help early in disputes

Click to view full size

THE Rent Services Unit within the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development is encouraging landlords and tenants to seek assistance early when rental disputes arise, rather than allowing issues to escalate.

Director of the Rent Services Unit Shenese Williams Headlam said the unit provides a range of services to support both landlords and tenants, including assistance with disputes involving rent arrears, security deposits and illegal rent increases.

Williams Headlam made the appeal while addressing a Jamaica Information Service (JIS) Think Tank last Wednesday.
