The Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Yusuf Dahiru Liman, has sponsored a bill seeking to regulate house rent charges imposed by landlords and property owners across the state.
The proposed legislation is aimed at addressing rising accommodation costs, which have placed increasing financial pressure on low-income earners, workers, students and young families.
The bill seeks to establish a fair framework for residential rent regulation while protecting the legitimate interests and rights of both landlords and tenants.
The legislation is currently before the relevant committee of the Assembly for detailed consideration.

A public hearing is also being conducted to allow tenants, landlords, property owners, estate professionals, developers, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to make contributions to the proposed law.
The initiative is in line with the policies of Governor Uba Sani’s administration, which has prioritised measures aimed at reducing economic hardship and improving the welfare of residents.
The Assembly said stakeholder engagement would continue throughout the legislative process to ensure that the proposed law is practical, balanced and responsive to the housing needs of Kaduna residents.
