Abstract

This study discusses the latest development in rental laws in Egypt, namely the repeal of exceptional buildings rental laws under Law No. 164 of 2025.

We explained the situation prior to the issuance of Law No. 164 of 2025, which went through two stages: the first was before the Supreme Constitutional Court addressed the provisions of the unconstitutional rental laws, and the second was after the Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that the provisions of the unconstitutional rental laws were unconstitutional.

The situation after the issuance of Law No. 164 of 2025 required discussing the ruling of the Supreme Constitutional Court regarding the unconstitutionality of rent fixing, which was the main motive for enacting this law. Then we discussed the scope of application of Law No. 164 of 2025 in terms of rented premises subject to it, then the provisions of law related to the termination of lease contract.

Then law provisions regarding determining the rent during the transitional period, we also discussed its provisions regarding the state’s obligation to provide an alternative for the leasing building that is being vacated in accordance with this law, and we concluded it with talking about the repeal of the exceptional laws of leasing .
