🏠 TENANT & LANDLORD RIGHTS SERIES | Part 4/4
“Will You Get Your Deposit Back?” 💰⚖️

You move out…
Then suddenly the landlord says:
“Your deposit is gone.” 😅

So what really happens to security deposits?

Generally, deposits may be used for:
✔️ Unpaid rent
✔️ Serious property damage beyond normal wear and tear
✔️ Outstanding bills (depending on the agreement)

BUT ⚠️
A landlord should not make unfair deductions without explanation.

💡 Smart Move Before Moving Out:
📸 Take pictures of the property
📝 Keep proof of payments
🤝 Do a final inspection together if possible

For landlords:
✔️ Keep proper records
✔️ Clearly explain deductions
✔️ Use written agreements

At the end of the day, good documentation prevents unnecessary fights.

🏠 TENANT & LANDLORD RIGHTS SERIES | Part 3/4
“Can Rent Be Increased Anytime?” 💸

One month you’re paying $300…
Next thing, the landlord says it’s now $500 😳

Can they do that?

⚖️ Rent increases are usually guided by:
✔️ The lease agreement
✔️ Notice periods
✔️ Agreed terms between both parties

If your lease says rent can only increase after a certain period, the landlord generally cannot ignore that.

At the same time:
❌ Tenants cannot simply refuse reasonable increases without discussion.

💡 The key is this:
Everything should be properly documented.

⚠️ Many disputes happen because people rely on WhatsApp messages and verbal conversations only.

📑 A proper lease agreement protects everyone.

🏠 TENANT & LANDLORD RIGHTS SERIES | Part 2/4
“Who Pays For Repairs?” 🔧⚖️

The geyser bursts.
The roof leaks.
The toilet stops working 😭

So… who should pay?

This is one of the biggest causes of landlord-tenant fights.

Generally:
🏡 Landlords are usually responsible for major structural repairs and keeping the property habitable.

🧹 Tenants are generally expected to:
✔️ Keep the property clean
✔️ Avoid deliberate damage
✔️ Report problems early

⚠️ But here’s the catch:
Every lease agreement may say something different.

That’s why reading the lease carefully matters.

💡 Smart Tip:
Before moving in:
📸 Take pictures of the property
📝 Record existing damages
🤝 Keep communication in writing

This protects BOTH the landlord and tenant.

🏠 TENANT & LANDLORD RIGHTS SERIES | Part 1/4
“Can A Landlord Evict You Overnight?” ⚖️

A lot of tenants panic when they hear:
“Move out by tomorrow.”

But here’s the truth 👇🏾

❌ A landlord cannot usually evict a tenant instantly without following proper legal procedures.

In Zimbabwe, eviction is generally supposed to follow:
✅ Proper notice
✅ A valid reason
✅ Legal process where necessary

At the same time, tenants also have responsibilities:
✔️ Paying rent on time
✔️ Taking care of the property
✔️ Respecting lease agreements

💡 Important:
Even if there is no written lease agreement, certain rights and obligations may still exist.

⚠️ Never rely on verbal agreements alone.

A simple written lease agreement can prevent major disputes later.
