INTRODUCTION.
In our country regions especially in large towns and cities like Dar es salaam, Mwanza, Arusha and other which has potential population growth, citizens faces many challenges when it come a time to find house to live or for business. Same challenges encounters those in need for land purchase, either home building or other activities.
Searching for houses or land in such regions ternants or buyers and sellers or owners do not have direct contact, instead third part must be involved in between. This is the one mostly blamed and harming part when it come on the hand of economic and social issues. The third part is popularly known DALALI, in other words MIDDLEMAN or INTERMEDIARIES. Therefore will not get house for rent or land to purchase without passing to DALALI. DALALI have their rules for he/she to show a house or land of your choice. It includes survey fees and payment which is equivalent to the cost of one month of that house or 10 to 20 percent of land cost. This is very challenging part in such kind of business.
WHAT DALALI's DO FOR A PERSON IN NEED?
The following are issues the public faces currently;
1. Demands payment for specific area survey. That is to see the house or land in order to select your choice, you must pay particular amount of money as survey fee, can range from 10 thousand to 20,000 thousand Tanzania shilling depending on the business. And this is non refundable whether you will get or not your choice.
2. When it come a time you have got house or land of your choice, you have to pay DALALI another cost before paying the owner. For instance for house renting you pay DALALI money which is equivalent to the amount of one month cost of your house's rent example if rent fee is 1 million per month and guidance is to pay for 6 months to make it complete you must have 7 million including DALALI fee. Same thing for land purchase you have to add 10 to 20 percent of land cost. Currently owners or sellers are connected with DALALI is such a way even if you go directly to the owner will not accept anything until you find DALALI.
CHALLENGES/PROBLEMS GETS FROM USING DALALI SYSTEM IN HOUSE RENTING AND LAND PURCHASE.
1. Financial loss. Tenants or buyers pays useless costs like survey fee, and others called working which you pay after getting your choice. All these are unnecessary costs which do not count to the house rent or to cost of land. And all these cost sellers or owners do not count, hence this is called financial loss.
2. DALALI sometime causes raising up of cost or prices of property, can be either cost for rent or prices of land. Tenants or buyers sometimes or always buys or rents house at large cost than normal or compared to the current market. This is not fair especially for people who find economic difficulties.
3. Sources of many real estate conflicts in our country. For instance for unfaithful DALALI you may be shown and sold a house or land which its payment have made by another person.
