Rental Market Trends And Challenges In Pakistan

The rental market in Pakistan is an integral part of the country's real estate sector. It is vital in meeting the housing needs of a rapidly growing population, particularly in urban areas. Knowing the rental market trends and challenges is essential for tenants and landlords to make informed decisions and address key issues. 

Rental Market Trends In Pakistan 

High Demand For Rental Properties

One notable trend in the Pakistani rental market is the rising demand for rental properties. It can be attributed to a growing population and rapid urbanization, increasing housing demand. Additionally, the high cost of homeownership, including property prices and mortgage rates, has made renting a more feasible option for many individuals and families. Farm house for sale in Gulberg Green Islamabad offers high rental properties for investors, buyers or sellers. 

High Rental Rates

Another trend is the increase in rental rates. The limited supply of quality rental properties, especially in desirable locations, has resulted in landlords being able to command higher rents. Additionally, inflation and economic factors impact rental rates, making it challenging for tenants to find affordable options. The Blue World City in Islamabad offers high rental rates, making it the best and most desired investment area.

Shift Towards Furnished Rentals

Furthermore, there is a noticeable shift towards furnished rentals. Changing lifestyle preferences and expanding communities have increased the demand for fully furnished accommodations as of Gulberg Greens Islamabad apartments. The trend presents an opportunity for landlords to cater to the needs of these tenants and maximize rental income.

Rental Market’s Challenges 

The rental market in Pakistan faces several challenges. 

Lack Of Affordable Housing 

There is a need for more low-cost rental properties, particularly in urban areas. The scarcity of affordable rentals, income disparities, and affordability issues pose a significant challenge for low-income individuals and families seeking suitable housing options.

Informal Rental Sector

The absence of a proper legal framework for rental agreements and transactions creates uncertainties and risks for both tenants and landlords. A lack of tenant protection and regulation leads to disputes and issues related to security deposits, rent increases, and eviction procedures.

Tenant-landlord Disputes

Tenant-landlord disputes and legal complexities also pose challenges in the rental market. Rent collection and payment issues, disputes over property maintenance and repairs, and disagreements regarding lease terms can result in lengthy and costly legal disputes for both parties.

Conclusion 

Knowing Pakistan's rental market trends as Regency Marketing knows real estate conditions and challenges is crucial for all investors, buyers or stakeholders. The rising demand for rental properties, increasing rental rates, and the shift towards furnished rentals indicate the evolving dynamics of the market. By implementing proactive measures and embracing opportunities for growth and development, the rental market in Pakistan can become more efficient, transparent, and inclusive.

Barcelona mayor backs ban tourist rental apartments

Barcelona’s mayor has defended a ban on flats for tourists, saying “decisive” measures are needed to cut housing costs. Jaume Collboni is determined to implement the plan, which he said would return 10,000 properties to the city’s residents, Spanish media reported.

The decision hit headlines around the world, prompting surprise and threats of lawsuits worth billions of euros but months after Barcelona officials announced plans to rid the city of tourist flats by the end of 2028, the city’s mayor called it a “radical” but much-needed step to curb rising housing costs.

Jaume Collboni said in one of his first interviews with international media since the June announcement:

“It’s a very radical step, but it’s necessary because the situation is very, very difficult. In Barcelona, as in other major European cities, the number one problem is housing.”

Over the past 10 years, rental prices in the city have risen by 68 per cent, while the cost of buying a home has risen by 38 per cent. As some residents complained about the high cost of living in the city, Colboni began looking into the 10,101 licences issued by the city allowing them to rent out accommodation to tourists through platforms such as Airbnb.

The Socialist Party mayor saw this as a relatively quick way to increase the number of residences in the city, while also reducing the number of some of the 32 million tourists who visit the city (1.7 million a year). The mayor added:

“Within the mass tourism model that has colonised the city centre, we have seen significant damage to two things: the right of access to housing, as housing is used for economic activities, and coexistence between neighbours, especially in areas with more tourist flats.”

Catalan city authorities have long tried to address the issue by setting limits on the number of tourist flats. Collboni claimed:

“After many years, we have come to the conclusion that doing something half-heartedly is useless. It’s very difficult to manage and make sure there are no illegal rentals. It’s much easier and clearer to say there will be no more tourist flats in Barcelona.”

While some criticised the years it would take for the measure to come into effect, Collboni set a timeframe of up to 2028 in line with regional legislation that last year limited the issuing of tourist accommodation licences to five years in restricted areas. It was in this clause that Barcelona officials saw their chance: in 2028, when Barcelona’s current number of licences expire, they plan to simply not renew any of them.

The idea has significant limitations, however. Collboni’s term as mayor of the Catalan capital ends in 2027, which could result in the plan being cancelled if elections result in a change of municipal government. Regional law also allows owners to request a one-off extension of up to five years if they can prove they have invested heavily in the property, although Collboni says such cases make up a “minority” of licences in Barcelona.

Instead, he hopes the plan will see more than 10,000 properties returned to the residential property market, where recent rent restrictions and an expected national register aimed at limiting short-term rentals will ideally prevent them from becoming luxury flats or monthly rentals. The city’s team of about 30 inspectors, which officials say identifies more than 300 illegal tourist flats a month, will be beefed up by 10 more positions in the coming months and will continue to operate at full capacity after 2028 to crack down on any illegal rentals that may arise.

The June announcement took many residents by surprise. Jaume Artigues of the Eixample Dreta Neighbourhood Association, which represents an area that contains about 17% of the city’s legal tourist flats – some 1,655 of which are located in the central district, known for its modernist architecture, said:

“We didn’t think it was so radical. I think it’s a very, very bold measure because it will be a tough legal fight against the economic interests of this sector.”

But Artigues is concerned about the protracted timeline, calling it a risky deal in a city where access to housing has already become an emergency. That view was echoed by Albert Freixa of the Eixample Housing Syndicate. He said:

“You can’t promise something for 2028, when there will be elections and you don’t even know if you will be mayor.”

In September, Apartur, an organisation representing management companies and owners of 85% of legal tourist flats in Barcelona province, announced plans to sue for compensation for lost revenue and investment. Describing the city’s plan as a “covert forced expropriation,” the organisation suggested that the claims could be as high as €3 billion.

The country’s constitutional court is also due to review the plan. In February, it agreed to consider a lawsuit filed by the conservative People’s Party, which argued that regional legislation had, among other things, overstepped its bounds when it came to how private property could be used.

Collboni compared the argument to someone trying to open a four-table restaurant in their home. He said:

“No one would do that. Because you have to meet hygiene standards, you have to pay taxes, you have to have full-time staff to operate there. We say no, you can’t do whatever you want with your property. The flat is meant for living, it’s not a business.”

The scandal comes as tensions around tourism in Barcelona continue to heat up. This summer, some people’s anger spilled out after several protesters with water pistols in hand sprayed water on tourists, while others held placards reading “Tourists, go home” and “You are not welcome here.”

According to Collboni, what happened was not a reflection of how most residents feel. He said, pointing to La Rambla, a tourist-infested boulevard with many souvenir shops, as an example of an area that some residents feel has been overtaken by mass tourism:

“But it is true that there is anxiety in the city because we are losing some areas of the city. Tourism has to be limited to what the city can really absorb. We can’t grow indefinitely at the expense of those who live in the city.”

If you are renting from Just Some Guy (aka not a managed apartment or condo building that has a maintenance department) I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to only ever communicate with your landlord about issues via email. Disclaimer for this being based on my experience with US law and landlords and not legal advice in any capacity, but if something is wrong in your living space, take pictures/videos (where possible) and send clear, concise emails that hit on all the “you aren’t fulfilling your lease obligations” pain points. If you have a landlord with any basic awareness it should get them to fix it and it’ll give you a nice start against the barely sentient slime balls when you’re fighting with them later.

Here’s the basic formula/template with an example letter below the cut:

Hi [landlord],

This is [name] at [address/unit]. We have been having an issue with [room/appliance/area] since [date/time]. [describe issue in 1-2 sentences]. I have attached photos/a video to better illustrate the problem. We have already tried [obvious solution like changing a bulb or basic cleaning] and it has not resolved. We are concerned because [property damage and/or limiting use of the space]. Can you please [maintenance request]?

If you don’t hear back, reply to the same chain with some variation of “Following up on my previous email. The issue is still present [additional photo or video evidence as relevant]. Can you provide an update on when this will be fixed?” And keep doing that as often as you feel is necessary.

If they call you, send a follow up email right after you hang up saying “Hi [landlord], thanks for calling. Just want to confirm that [whatever you discussed]. Let me know if this isn’t correct.”

Sample letter:

Hi Random Guy,

This is Your Tenant at 123 Street in Unit 2. We have been having an issue with the windows in the kitchen since we moved in on April 7th. The three north facing windows leak substantially whenever we get rain. Videos and photos attached. Those were taken during the storm last night. The windows are closed and locked and we have checked for anything jammed underneath them but it keeps happening. It makes it impossible to use the kitchen while it’s raining as dirty water gets all over the counter where we prepare food. We are also concerned about mold and bugs becoming a problem if this continues. Can you please send someone to repair the windows?

Thank you,

Your Tenant

My Favorite Spot in My Home

I am not sure if I have mentioned this or not, but my most favorite spot in my home is my window seat. I had visualized this spot more than a decade before I actually had it realized. I thought the one hundred and twenty degree angle of the two windows in my apartment would be the perfect place for a window seat. My apartment is more or less a studio apartment even though the landlord is trying to say this is three rooms, you don't count the bathroom as a room. There isn't one closet and storage has been a struggle for me the entire nearly three decades that I have lived here, this lead me to turn the kitchen into my walk-in closet with bathroom.

During the pandemic I decided to finally use the fact that I was working during the day and since census employees were part of essential workers just prior to the lockdown I thought that while I was at work this was a great time for the contractor to do his work. I found a contractor through a friend and sent him a PDF of the deck I had put together, which included photos of the current area, sketches I did actualizing the ideas I had which would include storage beneath and a bookshelf for my paperbacks in front. Sometimes I like to deny my own creativity but projects like this when I start with an idea in my head but then work to actualize those thoughts in the real world by working with others is an amazing feeling!

I have learned part of my artistic gifts is being able to have the vision about something even if I am not able to execute it by my own hand. This was my first renovation project and I had a very clear vision of how I wanted this window seat to feel like a part of the original design of my unit. To this end I asked the contractor to include elements of the window design to make it feel like the original architect had made these choices. I included photos of stock picture examples of what I was looking for. I was so pleased by the final product, a sturdy oak base that I then followed up with having a local tailor make custom seat cushions and I then complimented the cushions with an assortment of very colourful pillows.

Part of my pride is in the fact that I decided during COVID, that if I was going to spend so much time in my apartment, even it if was a rental that I should make it as comfortable as possible for myself. This Rona-vation included, new wood floors, finishing the paint stripping of the windows, more shelving in my walk-in closet and a ceiling fan. Now three years later I have not one regret about any of these improvements. I would actually wake up some morning wondering how I was so blessed to wake up to such a beautiful space, but I realize that it was my own hands that helped to create this comfort and style.

[Additional information about the final, per my instructions the tailor created 1.5" thick foam cushions and four cushion covers in red, green, yellow and blue. All nine of the pillows that are in the seat were purchased from either Black designers or Black businesses. Both my contractor and tailor are Black. Everything you see was created by Black peoples hands. Photo by Brown Estate]
