WHO IS A LANDLORD?
A landlord refers to a property owner (including their authorized agent) who rents or leases that property (such as land, houses, or apartments) to another party in exchange for rent payments. Landlords can be individuals, businesses, or other entities.

WHO IS A TENANT?
A tenant is someone who rents or leases property (e.g. a house, land, apartment, etc.), from a landlord at an agreed fee (rent).
Tenants can be individuals, a business, group, etc.

WHAT IS A TENANCY AGREEMENT?
This is a contract between the landlord and the tenant who wants to live in or utilise the property for an agreed period of time and for an agreed payment.

Where the rent is UGX. 500,000 or more, the agreement should be in writing or in the form of a data message for it to be enforceable.

Where a tenancy agreement is not in writing, the landlord is mandated to keep a record of the following information: particulars of the tenant(s), the premises occupied by the tenant(s), details of the immigration status if the tenant is a non-citizen, details of the rent payable & manner in which it is payable.

NOTE: A landlord is prohibited by the law from entering into a tenancy agreement with someone who does not provide their national identification or any other identification document (e.g. passport, driving permit, certified student identification card). It is therefore MANDATORY for the tenant to provide a form of identification to the landlord before they can rent the premises.
