(MENAFN- Jordan Times) The Landlords and Property Owners Society on Tuesday called for the Landlords and Tenants Law not to be amended to "satisfy a certain segment over the public interest".
In a statement, the society said that the application of the law was met with "relief" from all parties, stressing that enacting a new law would mean "hampering" the stability of regulations, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Merchants from across Jordan have staged sit-ins in rejection of Article 5 of the law, which stipulates that tenants must renegotiate their contracts with their landlords under new conditions; and Article 7, under which tenants' heirs are allowed to retain residential properties for three years and commercial properties for six years following the tenant's death.
