The aims and reasons for this bill are to amend the part of the Civil Code which regulates the sub-tenancy of commercial tenements, to provide for means by which persons who are currently managing their business from premises where their title of sub-tenancy is going to end by application of the law on the 31st May, 2018, would be able to request the Rent Regulation Board to allow them to continue managing their business from the same premises under revised conditions which are as much as possible reflective of market conditions so that harsh consequences are avoided for these sub-lessees.
