DOES MY NEW LANDLORD HAVE POWERS TO EVICT ME ❓.

Muggaga bought a block of rentals from Nakazzi last week with 4 tenants. Immediately, Muggaga sent notices to all the tenants that they vacate his ‘new’ premises with immediate effect. Mubiru had unfortunately paid six months’ rent in advance, and she wants to know if this man has such powers and if she should not have been informed about this sale.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

No, the new landowner does not have powers to evict you immediately they buy a property. This is because a tenant is entitled to a notice before anyone can evict him/her. For example, if there is a default in paying rent, the landlord is entitled to evict you but must first give you notice (reasonable warning time to prepare for where you will go next).

IF there is a tenancy agreement, then the period should be that stated in the agreement. However, if there was no tenancy agreement, then this period is 3 months. A new landlord does not mean you do not follow the old terms. This is because when a new owner buys the property, he/she buys the property with all its existing rights. These rights include right of way, the rights of the tenants who were on that property.

IF such a tenant wants to evict those people such as Mubiru, then he would have to repay the rent that was paid in advance and give notice to Mubiru to find where to go within a reasonable legal notice period. As a landlord selling property, Nakazzi should have introduced Muggaga to the tenants and informed them that she was selling the property to a new landlord would respect the rights of the tenants.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
