AMENDMENTS TO RENT LAW
The Rent Law was amended last year and the amendments came into effect on the 1st January 2010. In view of this, the Kamra tal-Periti is organising an information seminar to explain these amendments and how these may be interpreted and viewed critically. The valuation of properties for rental purposes is one of the professional tasks Periti are entrusted with so it is essential to remain updated on these issues.
Details on the seminar which will be held on the 5th February are found on the flier below. Participation is free to Full Members of the Kamra, while non paid up members will be required to pay an entrance fee of €20.00. Due to the limited space available, registration is on a first come first served basis.

CONSULTATION SEMINAR on MEPA REFORM
As part of its endeavours to represent the profession at all levels, the Kamra tal-Periti will be holding a Consultation Meeting for Periti on Wednesday 22nd July at 6pm (venue to be announced later) in order to hear the views of its members on the MEPA Reform announced recently. As you may be aware, Government will conclude the MEPA Reform process during a National Conference to be held on the 31 July. Prior to such date, the Kamra will be presenting its reactions to the Prime Minister, and would therefore like to include as wide a scope of comments as possible.
Registration for attendance to the KTP’s Consultation Meeting is mandatory, and due to possible space restrictions, reservation will be accepted strictly on a first come first served basis. Fully paid up members will be given preference.
