By Antiguan protecting Antiguan property
Local property owners are left up to fight for their rights, even though the law provides for their protection at the same time it established, that tenants’ rights are protected in the laws that govern the Price and Consumer Division. This failure to implement the law by engaging the rent Officer, has allowed constant losses to locals who lease out their properties to the expatriate community, especially in Antigua where white is always right.

By the time the local owner gets back the property expecting normal wear and tear they find the property reduced in value by failure to maintain it as outlined in agreements. House owners are stuck with the repair bills, because the tenant is gone before Court Action can be commenced, (then shelved for three years in the Court Registry) only then appearing before a judge, in no hurry to sit and adjudicate. Governance in the days when we owned little or nothing, in its deliberations must have only been thinking of the small house renter seeking protection from the owner in the old days, protecting them only.
Antiguans are now for the most part house, apartments, condo, and business houses owners; even small hotel owners; one even owns the only mega hangar in the Eastern Caribbean. The time has come for Government to install the Rent Officer, with a new name with real teeth, to protect our bold and audacious property owner-entrepreneurs, who are forced to eat dirt, when their expatriate Rent & Lease clients exit their properties and leave them like this:
We have come a long way in moving from poor renters into ownership; we must pull our Government along with us, rather than allowing them to continue their unfair curtailing of the laws which protect our people’s growth, to pacify the pockets of the expatriate community, while ensuring their own self-enrichment policies.

One response to “Rent Officer Consumer Affairs MISSING IN ACTION”
That’s what y’all get when you wanna charge $8k to rent exclusively to expats and AUA students and exclude locals from being able to rent. Take the ridiculously high rent money you made and fix the damage to your house that’s worth half what you listed it for
