Rental Office
Adjudication
Often, landlords and tenants can not agree or one of the parties wants a decision, which can be enforced, should the other party fail to abide by that decision. In these cases, the Rental Officer is empowered to hold a hearing and, after hearing the evidence and testimony of both parties, render a decision which has the same force as a Territorial Court order. Most disputes are settled in this manner as the majority of disputes concern non-payment of rent and an enforceable decision is desired by the applicant.
