WHAT IS A TENANCY AGREEMENT AND HOW IS IT MADE ?.

By Editor

Boniface and Kamwe were at the local Kafunda drinking "ajono" (local brew) when they started talking about Bonny's shops that he is constructing. Kamwe wanted a shop for his wife and paid 250k cash to book the corner shop.
Fast forward, Bonny is denying Kamwe a shop, saying that he should prove that he paid. He (Bonny) really DENIED his friend, but thankfully, Bitu, a waitress had witnessed the money-giving silently. This got us thinking...

WHAT IS A TENANCY AGREEMENT?
An agreement is a mutual understanding between people. When we combine both words, tenancy agreement, is a mutual understanding between the person using a house or building(tenant) and the owner of the house or building(landlord) or someone acting on behalf of the landlord usually known as the caretaker.

This agreement is made when the parties agree. Before this agreement is made, the potential tenant is supposed to give a form of identification. This can be a national ID, passport, driving permit, or student ID. A tenancy agreement can be made in different ways;
1. It can be by word of mouth -  Two people have a conversation, their usual “kaboozi”, and they agree. However, the law says that if the agreement is for more than 500,000 UGX, the agreement must be written down otherwise, it will be useless. It will be treated like it never happened.
2. A written agreement - This has to include what rights and duties the landlord and tenant each has. 
3. There are cases where no conversation is hard and no written agreement but someone is living in the house (tenant) and paying a given amount of money to the owner (landlord) who accepts it. In this case, there is an implied agreement.
4. With technology, a lot has changed and agreements can also be made via WhatsApp, and email, among others. This is no different for tenancy agreements.
5. A written agreement - This includes the rights and duties the landlord and tenant has. 

Which of these types of tenacy agreements do you currently have?

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

By Editor
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...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
