The Model Tenancy Act protects tenants concerning rent payment procedures. Landlords must provide signed receipts immediately after receiving rent payments. Tenants can use postal money orders if landlords refuse receipts. Rent can be deposited with the Rent Authority if landlords continue to reject payments. This ensures tenants are not unfairly labelled as defaulters.
