He said landlords have been compelling tenants to make one-year and two-year advance rent payments before renting their apartments and this is not affordable for many Nigerians.
Senator Adeyemi also noted that the proposed legislation stipulates a maximum advance rent payment of three months and after the expiration of the three-month rent, the tenants are expected to pay monthly.
