Yes he is having all such right to increase the rent.

Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 19 January 2012
The law does not permit retrospective increase of rent in absence of any agreement in that regard.

Do file case before the rent court for fixation of fair rent.

You land lord has no legal right to do so.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 19 January 2012
As we are legal experts and not arbitrators so should confine only on the query first and then if anything desirable should suggest.

In the given facts, your landlord is not justified to enhance the rent with retrospective effect. It can be prospectively. You challenge his arbitrary decision.
