Abstract

The importance of rental relationships to poor community sanitation in three African countries is discussed in this paper. The challenges of forming effective sanitation partnerships are amplified in a context of insecure tenure and transient residents, and where relationships between landlords and tenants range between ‘limited’ and ‘fraught’. For public authorities, the problems posed by low-income tenancy arrangements often seem intractable; the relationship between landlord and tenant is private, but the consequences of inadequate sanitation frequently impact very publicly.
