Yes, to an extent, as most countres have specific landlord/tenant laws. Basically, the collection of unpaid rent would qualify for consumer laws, in the manner in which they attempt to collect the monies owed that the courts have awarded a judgment. Like, the enforcement of judgments, writs of execution, those types of things.
