WHO EXACTLY IS VINCENT AGABA?
It was the year 2007 when I first met a gentle man called Vincent Agaba, a man who would go on to revolutionize the real estate sector in Uganda. At that time, Vincent had recently established a property management company called Avarts Housing Limited. Their office was located on Plot 66 Kenneth Dale Drive in Kamwokya, before later relocating to Embassy Plaza along Ggaba Road. Meanwhile, I had just also recently launched the Real Estate Database (RED) and was seeking established agencies to join and list their properties on the new platform. One day, while moving along Kira Road, I noticed the Avarts signpost and decided to pay them a visit. I was eager to meet the people behind the company and see if we could strike a deal to join the RED. I sat down with Vincent and explained the concept of the RED. He was not only impressed but also mentioned that he was already familiar with a similar platform called Funda in the Netherlands, where he had studied International Business an

THE COMMON TRICKS AND TACTICS THAT TENANTS PLAY.
Being a landlord or property manager can be a challenging job. While many tenants are responsible and respectful, there are always a few who try to take advantage of the system. In this blog, we will explore some of the common tricks tenants play in the rental world. By understanding these tactics, landlords and property managers can be better prepared and equipped to handle such situations. False References: One of the tricks some tenants employ is providing false references to create a positive impression during the application process. They may provide the contact information of friends or family members who pretend to be previous landlords, giving glowing recommendations that are entirely fabricated. To counter this, it's essential to verify references by conducting thorough background checks and speaking directly with past landlords. Subletting without Consent: Some tenants may attempt to sublet the property without obtaining proper consent from the landlord or prope

UGANDAN PLACES WHOSE NAMES HAVE LOST THEIR MEANINGS OR ORIGINS
Uganda's urban areas, especially Kampala and its surroundings, are evolving at breakneck speed. With every new road, mall, or apartment block, pieces of history are erased, sometimes without anyone noticing. Yet the names of many familiar places hold forgotten stories: of trees that no longer stand, markets that no longer trade, or communities that were shaped by culture, language, and even slang. Here are Ugandan place names whose meanings or origins are disappearing, misunderstood, or lost to modern development. Owino Market, Downtown Kampala. Today, Owino Market is recognized as Uganda's largest hub for second-hand clothing. Bustling with life and commerce, its current identity often overshadows the story behind its name, a story that has largely faded from public memory. While it is popularly known as Owino, few people are aware that its official name is St. Balikuddembe Market, named in honor of Joseph Balikuddembe, a Ugandan Catholic martyr. The name "Owino" is believed to

SO, WHO’S THE BOSS NOW? THE LANDLORD OR THE TENANT?
Remember when landlords ruled the real estate scene with an iron fist? When a tenant's delay in rent meant an immediate lockout and a quick change of padlocks? Yeah, that era's over. The Landlord and Tenant Act recently pulled the biggest power shift Uganda's rental market has ever seen. And now, landlords are losing sleep. For many, it feels like betrayal. For decades, the scales tilted heavily toward the landlords, they had the authority, the control, and the final say. But the new law stepped in, balancing the scales and redefining the rules of engagement. Suddenly, the once-mighty landlords are the ones calling lawyers and sweating on deadlines. The law didn't exactly punish them, it simply forced equality into a game that had been one-sided for too long. And that's why, as they say, "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression." Landlords Are Losing Sleep, The Landlord and Tenant Act Just Changed Everything. It's not paranoia, it's reality. The 2
