Clear, practical help for landlords and tenants in Karachi — before the Rent Controller and on appeal.
Rent disputes in Karachi are governed by the Sindh Rented Premises Ordinance, 1979 and decided by the Rent Controller. A well-drafted tenancy agreement and properly kept records decide most cases.
We act for both landlords and tenants — in ejectment applications, fair rent proceedings, rent deposit cases and appeals.
