Egypt Scraps Rent Caps, Raising Eviction Fears for Millions

Imagine you've been paying very little rent for a long time, like a few cents.

Now, the government is changing the rules.

They're getting rid of old laws that kept rent low for people in older apartments.

This means many people could see their rent go up, and they're worried about having to move out.

The government says it will help tenants find new homes, but there aren't many houses available and it could get expensive.

Some people are worried about what will happen to their shops and neighborhoods.

This has people concerned about their homes, jobs, and how the city will change.
