Old Rent.. Between Justice and Humanity
Elham Aboul Fateh The Old Rent Law, an exceptional law issued during World War II, allowed the state to intervene in the relationship between landlord and tenant. Since its issuance, it has been a matter of debate. It was issued under exceptional circumstances resembling martial law, specifically with the implementation of the Exceptional Rent Law in 1944. It was subsequently amended by Law No. 121 of 1947, and interference in the rental relationship continued to a greater extent after the July 1952 Revolution. Amendment No. 21 of 1992 further distorted the relationship between landlord and tenant. Years ago, I Launched a campaign in Al-Akhbar newspaper against old rents. During the campaign, I met with a number of buildings' owners in areas such as Zamalek and Garden City. These were luxury buildings overlooking the Nile, but their revenues were insufficient even for their maintenance. Most of the tenants were retired, and their pensions were only enough to pay the rent, which did not exceed a few pounds. This skewed reality has always been a subject of debate, especially after the Supreme Constitutional Court's 2002 ruling, which declared certain provisions of non-residential rental laws unconstitutional. This ruling was considered the beginning of a reconsideration of the entire system. The exceptional law issued in 1961 had established lifetime rental relationships and even passed them on to the second and third generations, creating a state of stagnation that lasted for decades. Well, we need to protect the landlord's rights and grant him the right to benefit from his property, but at the same time, we cannot ignore the reality of the tenant who has lived in this apartment for decades, settled there, and has no alternative. Law No. 4 of 1996 was issued, opening the door to fixed-term rental contracts with new terms. This meant we now had two laws, which is unconstitutional, as all Egyptians are equal before the law. The issue is not just legal, but also social and humanitarian, and requires realistic solutions. Many of these property owners have become millionaires on paper, while tenants in very upscale neighborhoods pay symbolic rents that are disproportionate to the reality. Today, the old rent law is before the Parliament once again to discuss this thorny humanitarian issue. I hope we can reach a just and humane law, which is a difficult equation. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why? Analysis: Russia, Turkey... Libya in Return For Syria?

Thank you, Mr. President
Elham Aboul Fateh President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced serious and swift measures, to be implemented immediately, during the Labor Day celebrations, which I was honored to attend on Saturday. The measures include raising the minimum emergency fund benefit from EGP 600 to EGP 1,500, directing the House of Representatives to expedite discussions on the new labor law, and supporting the establishment of an integrated training center to prepare youth for the labor market according to international standards, launching a national strategy to promote the culture of occupational safety and secure the work environment, increasing employment among women and disabled ones, and expanding inspections of workplaces to enforce the minimum wage. The President's remarks were not merely a traditional salute to workers, but rather practical measures that touch the daily lives of Egyptian workers. They affirm that the state is not satisfied with symbolic honors, but is working to improve the conditions of those who shape this country's economy. The choice of Suez as the venue for the celebration was excellent since the city is witnessing a major industrial boom, and during the celebration, we witnessed a number of important projects in the economic zone northwest of the Gulf of Suez. The message we get from this day is that production continues, factories are being built, and the state is betting on industry as a path to true economic stability. The president spoke in clear and direct language, linking the workers' appreciation to actions on the ground, in workshops and factories, where daily life is conducted despite the challenges. He said clearly, "Young people don't need promises, but rather real actions." President Sisi emphasized that workers must feel that their rights are protected and that there are policies to protect their efforts and guarantee them a fair life in light of the high cost of living and the challenges we all face. This year's celebration was more than just an occasion. It was a declaration that the state continues to support those who work hard and strive, building with them every brick on the road to the new republic. To every worker, the message was clear: You are not alone, and the state sees you and is working with you for a better tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. President. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies... Why? Analysis: Russia, Turkey... Libya in Return For Syria? Analysis: Who Will Gain Trump's Peace Plan Fruits?
