At DLS Attorneys, property law in general, and landlord-tenant law is one of our core practice areas. In the Zimbabwean context, landlord-tenant law is a legal minefield, owing to the application of the Commercial Premises (Rent) Regulations, 1983, as well as their counterpart for residential premises, namely, the Rent Regulations, 2007. The Firm has a considerable wealth of experience in assisting clients to navigate the legal minefield that is the law of landlord and tenant in Zimbabwe.
Our property law portfolio focuses on the needs of individual and institutional clients whose properties fall under both residential and commercial sectors. We provide the following services among others:
- Negotiation and drafting of agreements of lease;
- Collection of rentals;
- General property management;
- Termination of leases and ejection of tenants;
- General litigation in all courts in Zimbabwe as well as representation of landlords/tenants before the Rent Board.
