The committees of tenants from Fern al-Chebbak, Ashrafieh, Ain al-Remmaneh, Baabda, Metn, Kesserwan, Tariq al-Jedideh, al-Mazraah, Beirut and all regions, issued a statement on Friday, calling on President Michel Aoun to return the new rent law to the parliament.
The committees also urged Maronite Patriarch Beshara Boutros Rai and all bishops and Sheikhs to tackle this social issue in their sermons and meetings in a bid to restore balance between the tenants and owners and to prevent the law from leading many people to become homeless.
