Heartless landlords
Majority of the population in Dhaka have to live in rented houses. And the recent hike in the house rent has become intolerable for them. The landlords seem to have no mercy on the tenants. They increase the rent as they wish and at any time of the year. They do not understand that the service holders get increment once a year. If they have to spend two-thirds of their salary on house rent, it becomes difficult for them to meet the other expenses. We know that there is a law regarding house rent but it exists on paper only. The law is not practised anywhere in the country. The respective authorities should look into the matter.
