LANDLORD-TENANCY QUERRY

(Querist) 09 March 2011 This query is : Resolved 
1. I have got three queries related to landlord- tenant issues:-
(a) Can a landlord ask for Post Dated Cheques (PDCs) or is it only financial institutions/banks which can ask for such PDCs? If at all, it is not allowed, then what are the reasons for that? If a landlord has asked for PDCs as per the normal practice in vogue and later there is some dispute between landlord and tenant and subsequently the matter goes to the court and the issue of PDCs comes to the notice of the court, what is the legal standing/ view of the court on such matters, especially towards the landlord?
(b) If a clause is inserted, in the rental agreement that in the event of dishonour of one or more cheques, the tenant would be liable to pay the interest for the duration of the amount pending for payment, in addition to the normal monthly rental for that month for which the cheque has got dishonoured. What is the legal position of this issue under the law?
(c) Supposingly, the landlord stays out of the city in which his house is there on rent and visits once or twice during the period of tenancy for inspection of the house as for the terms of the agreement and stays for a few days in the house in the portion which he has reserved for himself and subsequently when the electricity bill comes, then the tenant claims that the excessive billing is because of the landlord staying in the house for a certain period of time. How to resolve such an issue? Should a separate meter be installed exclusively for usage by landlord which is only connected to that portion of the house where landlord stays whenever he visits? What if, in the absence of the landlord, the tenant clandestinely tempers with this meter or connects this meter with wiring of that portion of the house/meter wherein the tenant stays? Should the landlord be checking the wiring and connections of this meter exclusively meant for landlord , every time he visits and inviting unpleasant situation of lack of trust between landlord and tenant? or to avoid such thing in future some special clause to be inserted in the rental agreement that landlord would be installing an exclusively separate meter for his own use, which he will have the right to inspect every time whenever he visits?
