Tenancy Programme

The Tenancy Programme assists in providing security of tenure and land pricing to occupants who have been on lots approved by the Director of Surveys on the LSA’s designated areas and land settlement areas, before the 14th of June, 2014.

The aim of this initiative is to afford eligible persons the protection from ejectment through the shield of a short term Tenancy agreement and thereafter, a Statutory Lease and ultimately a one hundred and ninety-nine (199) year Deed of Lease.
