Landlord forgot to collect rent for one year

Tripti Nagwekar (Querist) 19 January 2012 This query is : Resolved
Dear Honourable Advisors,

If a landlord of a building of 100 tenants (the whole things are covered under Bombay rent control act) delays or forgets to collect the rent per month for one year and collects the whole rent after one year, is it okay? Please explain in detail. Thank you in advance.

It is duty of the tenant to pay the rent and land has to Issue the reciept. The landlord is not supposed to ask for rent.If he denies to accept the rent the tenant it is mandatory to pay by DD, MO, RTGS etc.if a landlard accepts cash and reluctant to issue the reciept the tenant should make the record it his books of account or in diary or calendar.
