How can the Rent Tribunal help Tenants and Landlords?
The Rent Tribunal on Statia plays a key role in supporting both tenants and landlords in resolving rental disputes. Our primary approach is giving information based on the law and helping both parties find fair and practical solutions through open dialogue (mediation). This process is designed to be accessible, efficient, and focused on mutual understanding.
If mediation does not lead to an agreement, the next step is to submit a formal petition. In such cases, the Tribunal will hold a hearing, where both sides can present their case. After reviewing the situation, the Tribunal issues a legally binding verdict to ensure a fair outcome based on the law.
Whether you’re a tenant or a landlord, we’re here to help you resolve rental issues in a fair and respectful manner.
