Tenancy Laws in Pakistan

Tenancy laws in Pakistan regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants, ensuring fair rental practices and protecting the rights of both parties. These laws govern lease agreements, rent payments, eviction procedures, and dispute resolution. The specific laws vary across provinces, with notable acts such as:

1. The Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009: Governs tenancy agreements, rent increases, and eviction procedures in Punjab. It mandates written agreements for all rental contracts and provides legal protections for both landlords and tenants.

2. Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979: Deals with rent control, eviction procedures, and tenant-landlord relationships in Sindh.

3. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance, 1959: Focuses on rent control and landlord-tenant relations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

4. Balochistan Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979: Similar to other provincial laws, this ordinance covers tenancy agreements, rent control, and evictions in Balochistan.

These laws ensure transparency in rental agreements, regulate rent increases, protect tenants from unjust evictions, and provide a legal framework for resolving disputes through rent controllers or civil courts.
