Egypt rental law debate resurfaces
This article discusses the appeals filed before the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt challenging the constitutionality of certain provisions in the old rental law regarding the termination of rental relationships after seven years of the enactment of Law No. 164 of 2025. This law stipulates increases in rent values, setting them between 400 and 1000 Egyptian pounds, with an annual increase rate of 15%. The tenants aim to preserve their rights and remain in their homes, while the landlords demand the enforcement of the law and the rejection of these appeals. The outcome of the case depends on the Court's ruling, which could take years, and is considered crucial for the fate of thousands of tenants—especially since the law mandates providing alternative housing units for the most vulnerable groups. It also has significant implications for the residential real estate market in Egypt.
