Article 25 explained in plain English
This article places a supervisory duty on the leasing government agency: to submit a periodic report to the General Authority for State Real Estate on the condition of the leased property.
The article does not specify how often the report is submitted or its content or form, but refers this to what the regulations set.
With this duty, the Authority stays informed of the condition of leased properties throughout the contract period, not only when it is concluded.
Article 26 completes this supervisory role, as it allows the Authority, without prejudice to the powers of the supervisory bodies, to make periodic visits to leased properties to confirm their suitability, proper use and fitness for the needs of the work. Supervision thus combines reports submitted by the agency and visits made by the Authority.
This duty falls on the government agency, not on the lessor; the article does not require the owner to submit reports.
Article 24 makes the Board of Grievances competent for disputes arising from applying the law.
