A. Dear Client,
If there is no rent agreement specifying the deduction from the security deposit, the landlord cannot deduct it as a matter of right. To address this issue, you must provide proof of rent payment to the landlord and pursue legal action if necessary. Disputes between tenants and landlords are typically resolved under state-specific Rent Control Acts. These acts appoint a Rent Controller or Additional Rent Controller to handle disputes between parties. In the current situation, serv ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
If there is no rent control act in your state, it becomes relatively easier for the tenant to protect their stay. The tenant can file a suit for a permanent injunction against the landlord, seeking a directive not to evict the tenant without following the due course of legal procedures. This entails the landlord issuing an eviction notice and subsequently filing a suit for eviction. The entire process, from eviction notice to final disposal, may take a minimum period of three year ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
In the State of Gujarat, the stamp duty for residential rent agreements with a duration of less than one year is calculated at INR 3.55 for every INR 100 of annual rent. Specifically, for rent agreements or lease agreements spanning 11 months, a stamp paper of INR 100 denomination is sufficient. It is important to note that these stamp papers should be purchased in the name of either party involved in the rental agreement, whether it be the landlord or the tenant. This ensures the ...ReadMore

Any additional conditions imposed by the landlord, especially those that may seem to alter the ownership status, would generally be considered invalid and void.
Conditions in an agreement that compel a tenant to vacate the premises upon payment of a lump sum by the landlord, especially if such conditions go ...ReadMore

A. In the context of a lease or rent agreement exceeding 12 months, it is mandatory to register the agreement under the Registration Act, 1908, by paying the necessary stamp duties and registration fees. In situations where the lease agreement does not explicitly permit the lessee to sub-lease the property, the agreement becomes ineffective. This lack of a direct relationship between the property owner (lessor) and the tenant can lead to difficulties in regaining possession of the property, especia ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Unless explicitly stated in the Rent Agreement, the landlord cannot unilaterally deduct or adjust any amount from the security deposit, even if the tenant agrees under compulsion or pressure. The security deposit, which is refundable upon the cessation of tenancy and surrender of vacant possession, should not be subject to such deductions without proper authorization in the agreement.
In case of a dispute between the tenant and landlord, resolution falls under the purview of the ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Tenants are restricted from using facilities designated for flat owners and society members, which are funded through monthly maintenance charges. Rent is paid by tenants to flat owners, and the society recovers maintenance fees from the flat owners. As a result, the society imposes additional charges on tenants for accessing these facilities.
