The Students Union of Namibia (SUN) has expressed dissatisfaction with delays in the enactment of the Rent Control Bill.

The bill seeks to regulate rental fees.

The bill has been worked on by the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development since 2017 and was delayed due to pending regulations.

In the meantime, Namibians will continue to feel the pinch of exorbitant rent rates, particularly students who are left with no choice and resort to degrading means to have accommodation, says the union.
