The Goa Buildings (Lease, Rent, & Eviction) Control Act, 1968, aims to protect tenants interests but has made property redevelopment financially unfeasible. Tenants often pay rent amounts fixed many years ago, which do not cover the cost of upkeep. To address this issue, experts suggest revising the rent control laws and allowing higher floor area ratio (FAR) for redevelopment. This would free up prime land and ease pressure on public roads.
