Details provided are incomplete, however, normally, various factors like rent prevalent in vicinity, municipal valuation, etc., etc., come in to play.

Standard rent is fixed on various factors, like the cost of construction, age of construction, cost of major repairs and reconstructions (except normal annual repairs & maintenancecosts), rates of interest on capital invested at the time of construction, etc.
However, rent being paid by cheque, wilful defaults, and breach of agreement can help you in your case.
