Deputy Ehab Mansour advises old rent tenants to seek alternative housing

The article covers statements by Deputy Ehab Mansour, the Deputy Head of the House of Representatives' Labor Committee, regarding the issue of old rent laws in Egypt. He explained that in 2017, the percentage of old rental units had declined from 28% in 1986 to about 7%, with current estimates suggesting the figure is between 2-3%. He noted that around 100,000 citizens have applied to reserve alternative housing either due to lack of knowledge about the areas or because of calls advising against applying to protect their rights. He advised tenants to proactively submit their requests to preserve their rights, emphasizing that the matter is not tied to applying for alternative housing if judicial rulings are issued. He also urged the government to take advantage of its pledge to provide land for building residential units within existing neighborhoods to address the displacement problem.
