[Chimpreports]- Traders at Yamaha Centre along Burton Street in Kampala are protesting the sudden rise of rent fees by 100 percent, accusing the landlord of being an “insensitive parasite.”
The traders said the charges were exorbitant and completely unaffordable. Police have reinforced security at the city complex to maintain law and order.
One of the traders identified as Siraje Kabanda said all tenants were Monday notified of the 100 percent rent increment which would take effect starting December.
“This is outrageous. Government should regulate the conduct of landlords. We have decided to close all the shops until this decision is rescinded,” he told Chimpreports.
