Rent arrears & eviction support
Dealing with a non-paying tenant in Kampala? Here is what to do.
A tenant who stops paying rent and won't leave is one of the most stressful situations a landlord faces. In Uganda, the Landlord and Tenant Act (2022) requires formal process — and cutting utilities or changing locks is illegal. Threalty helps you handle this the right way: documented, legal, and decisive.

Service questions
Can I lock out a tenant who hasn't paid rent in Uganda?
No. Under the Landlord and Tenant Act (2022), locking out a tenant without a court order is illegal and can expose you to legal liability. Threalty helps you follow the correct process: written notice, documentation, and proper escalation.
How long does it take to legally remove a non-paying tenant in Uganda?
Timelines depend on the specific situation, documentation in place, and whether the tenant responds to formal notice. Having a formal tenancy agreement in place significantly speeds this up. We can walk you through the process based on your exact situation.
