How to Submit a Dispute

Dispute Resolution Panel

The law regarding Private Residential Leases established a new mechanism which shall offer a more accessible remedy both to the lessors as well as the lessees who shall have a lease registered with the Housing Authority.

The parties can lodge a claim as indicated in Cap 604 on minor disputes such as deposit and maintenance not exceeding the value of €5,000.

This panel offers a fast and accessible remedy in the event that the lessors fail to undertake maintenance tasks which fall under their responsibility or withhold the deposit or part thereof without a justified reason; or in the event that the tenants leave the property in a ruined state.
