    How long does a tribunal have to determine a rental claim?

    In line with the Centre�s goal of providing an expeditious process, tribunals are mandated to determine rental claims within thirty (30) days. This period begins from the date the claim file is officially referred to the tribunal. While this timeframe is the standard, the Chairman of the Judicial Council has the authority to extend the period for another thirty days if circumstances require it. This rule ensures that landlords and tenants receive timely justice and that property assets are not tied up in lengthy litigation.
