Cairo: Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly confirmed the government's strong commitment to taking all necessary executive measures and steps to implement the provisions of Law No. 164 of 2025, concerning certain regulations and the relationship between landlords and tenants. He emphasized that this requires complete coordination among all relevant ministries, governorates, and entities to execute the law's texts. This need for coordination is particularly pressing following the Cabinet's recent approval of a draft resolution detailing the rules and operational framework for committees responsible for inventorying areas with residential rental properties.
According to State Information Service Egypt, the newly formed committees will conduct surveys to gather data on residential units affected by the "old rent" law, a pivotal step in ensuring the fair application of the law. The law aims to address long-standing issues between landlords and tenants, creating a more balanced relationship that respects both parties' rights.
The Cabinet's draft resolution outlines a comprehensive framework for these survey committees, ensuring they operate effectively and transparently. The committees' findings will provide a foundation for future legislative and administrative measures, aiming to modernize Egypt's rental market and resolve disputes that have persisted for decades.
This initiative underscores the government's dedication to reforming housing policies and improving the living conditions for citizens across Egypt. The collaboration among ministries, governorates, and relevant entities is expected to streamline the implementation process, facilitating a smoother transition to the new regulatory environment envisioned by Law No. 164 of 2025.
