As the litigants of the rent control, our objective is to protect the tenants against exorbitant rents, arbitrary increases in the rent and ensure to them security of tenure as well as protect the landlords against illegal possession, non-payment of rents , misuse of premises and legal eviction of unwanted tenants. The legislation has been necessitated by conditions of scarcity prevailing in rental housing markets of urban areas.
As housing is a State subject, different State Governments have framed their own rent control laws. By 1972, almost all the States in the country had enacted Rent control Acts (RCA).
We safeguard our clients and offer services for: –
a) control on letting and leasing of vacant buildings to assist tenants in their search for desirable rented accommodation,
b) fixation of ‘fair’ or ‘standard’ rent,
c) protection to tenants against indiscriminate eviction by unscrupulous landlords,
d) obligations and duties of landlords vis-avis maintenance and upkeep of their rented properties,
e) rights of landlords against tenants who default in paying rent or misuse the premises, and
f) rights of landlords for the recovery of premises in specific cases
Rent laws across the nation are now more in favour of the landlords than ever before. As land dispute lawyers we assist you in getting your property rightfully back in case you have a problem.
We take care that the rent or lease agreement is properly defined, written and signed by both the parties. As informed citizens we must be aware that the registration of these documents is a must, the absence of which can give rise to unexpected and unwanted circumstances. As property dispute lawyers, we not just provide effective solutions to such problems but also ensure safeguards against the same.
