Unfair terms in a tenancy agreement involving off-campus students: a legal discussion

Abstract: Some universities in Malaysia with a large number of students enrolled every year cannot cope with the increasing demand for students’ accommodation, therefore students have to find rental houses near the university. The purpose of this paper is to explore the unfair terms in a tenancy agreement involving off-campus students and rental house owner. The underlying philosophy is that students who have reached the age of majority and sound mind are free to enter into contracts and must, therefore, understand the legal effects of contract for which they have agreed. This paper gathers data from the tenancy agreement collected by several numbers of students who are staying off-campus at UiTM Perak Branch, Tapah Campus, through references to statutes and case reports to police. Thus, it discussed the legal effects of unfair terms in a tenancy agreement involving off-campus students and this study proposed three recommendation. The first is to educate students on the understanding of the clause in the tenancy agreement and the legal effect for breach of contract, the second is to educate the rental house owners on the importance of fairness clauses for both parties in a tenancy agreement and, thirdly, to recommend the university’s non-resident unit under Students Affairs (HEP) to draw up a sample of win-win tenancy agreements as guidelines for both parties. Hopefully, this paper would contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of law of contract.

Entail in Two Cities: A Comparative Study of Long Term Leases in Birmingham, England and Baltimore, Maryland 1700-1900

Abstract: Urban planning is often thought of as a conscious collection of governmental choices made as to the shape and social structure of the city. Thoughtfiil and forward looking public policies are viewed as mapping out the future. Overlooked or understated in this estimation are the less purposeful influences on the urban morphology and city sociology. This paper examines one such influence, land tenure, by taking a comparative look at the residential development of Birmingham, England, and Baltimore, Maryland, between 1700 and 1900. Birmingham and Baltimore both housed their working class populations in densely-packed dwellings with shared party walls. And both produced and conveyed these dwellings as ninety-nine year leaseholds subject to ground rents. This paper will look at the influence of long-term leasehold tenure on the land, houses, investments and politics of Birmingham and Baltimore. We will see that the two cities share a shape distinctive to leasehold towns, and we will see that a different social attitude toward entailment in the two cities gave ninety-nine year leasehold tenure a different destiny.

Are tenancy land markets equitable? A review of the "farmer selection dynamics" in Algeria.

Abstract: The significant development of the commodification of agricultural land in developing countries these last decades, notably through tenancy practices, raises serious questions about the equity of its redistribution. Studies on the equity of land markets show contradictory findings. By analyzing the rental market in the large irrigated perimeter of Guelma, northeast Algeria, this article contributes to this debate by answering the following research question: are tenancy land markets equitable? To answer this question, we essentially surveyed a quarter of the landowners in the main agricultural zone of the perimeter (52/208) and the direct tenants of the surveyed assignors (30) in 2020. We found that in the irrigated perimeter of Guelma, the rental land market has led to (1) the exclusion from the production system of landowners with few resources and unable to provide the necessary means for cash crops that have technically considerably evolved, and (2) the spatial exclusion from good lands of small tenants, relatively inefficient and unable to keep up with large tenants in the level of their rental offer. We refer to this general dynamic as "farmer selection".

On the Choice of Tenancy Contracts in Rural

Abstract: This paper uses data from rural India to analyse how cultivating household and plot level characteristics affect contract choice on a particular plot of land. We estimate a sequential choice model where the landowner first decides whether to cultivate the land on his own (possibly with hired labour) or to lease it out. If the latter, then a choice is made between fixed-rent or share-cropping. One interesting finding is that the greater the value of the plot, the greater is the probability that the plot is owner cultivated. Moreover, among tenant cultivated plots, higher value plots are share-cropped.
