Mumbai Rent Act

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 23 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
We are tenants of new land lords who bought the buildings in 2007 from a Public Trust.

They are not accepting rents with ulterior motives and want evict tenants some how. Our advocate says that as they have refused to accept rent we can keep the accumulated amount ready and pay as and when they demand it. The new land lords have filed eviction suits against all in Bandra Small Cause Court giving false reasons.

Pl. advice if we should deposit the rent in the court or can keep the same with us as we want to utilize the amount so collected for repairs to the buildings u/s 499 of BMC Act.

You should immediately approach the Rent Controller and start the arrears rent and yes, if the suit for eviction is filed you could also deposit the rent in the court itself when the court may impose any interest on the arrears rent.

You make an application before the Rent Controller seeking permission to deposit the rents in view of the wilful refusal of the land lord to receive the same.

Under Mah rent control act you can file a case for fixation of std rent with an application to deposit rent in the court.

Alternatively if a case is filed for default in rent , the court will grant time to deposit the same.
