BHC bids to hike rentals

BHC corporate communications manager Mookodi Seisa confirmed in Gaborone yesterday that they are holding discussions with stakeholders on reviewing the rentals that were last reviewed three years ago.  He would not reveal by what percentage the hike is likely to be or when it would be effected, but stated that "BHC houses are way below the market prices".  He said this discourages people from buying houses and is the main reason why some tenants have engaged in sub-letting their homes to make a profit. 

"Even two-and-a-half roomed houses in Gaborone are more expensive than a BHC three-bed roomed low-cost house that has most facilities such as water and electricity," he said.
