And here we go again: the third or fourth judgment that was published in which a subdistrict court judge preliminary rules the price change clause in a rental contract is unfair

Hmmm…

Interesting to see, especially regarding all the extra charges for late rent and such.

Might have wide impact beyond just increases.

I don’t see why we shouldn’t label ALL rental contracts as consumer contracts, since, regardless of whom I’m renting from, I’m still getting the same product…

But I guess that would have other implications here.

In South Africa, where I’m from, all rental contracts are covered by the rental housing act and consumer protection act. Regretfully, South Africa is lacking in the ability to enforce said laws, but they are there none the less, regardless of being private or otherwise.
