Estonia’s Justice Minister Liisa Pakosta has announced a new plan to address the issue of problematic renters and stimulate growth in the rental market. The initiative focuses on providing greater protection for landlords facing tenants who act in bad faith—those who may intentionally avoid paying rent or damage property. However, the plan has met with a surprising response from landlords themselves, who claim they do not feel additional legal protections are necessary. This disconnect raises questions about the root causes of the problem and whether the proposed solutions accurately address landlord concerns. The Justice Ministry believes the plan will increase confidence in the rental sector and encourage more property owners to offer their properties for rent. Further discussion with landlords will be necessary to ensure a comprehensive solution. The aim is to create a fairer and more stable rental environment for all parties involved.
