ELECTRICITY METER

Hi,

As far as I am concerned, if the alteration or addition to the existing condition is only beneficial for the tenant, then the tenant may pay for the same, but he has the right to take the items along at the time of his vacating the premise.

If beneficial to both, landowner may install the same and charge a nominal cost for the special modification.

Cheers!

THANKS FOR YOUR SUGGESTION.  PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR SUGGESTION/VIEW, WHEN THE LAND OWNER DEMANDS THAT ALL THE SUB METERS WHETHER NEW INSTALLATION OR OLD REPLACEMENT SHOULD BE ARRANGED BY THE TENANTS AT THEIR OWN COST. AND HE WOULDN'T SPEND ANY SINGLE RUPEE IN THAT. 

Hi,

I see the demand of the owner to be quite reasonable, but also it is imperative to refer the lease agreement before taking a defense.  I advise that both tenant and landlord stick to the conditions mentioned in the lease agreement.

Normally, any alteration or modification should not be carried out with the permission of the landlord, unless it is very essential, arising out of emergency, any damage making the premises unusuable without immediate action.

so, the landlord has every right to demand that the modification cost be borne by the tenant, given that the modification is completely nonbeneficial to him.

Cheers! 

HI,

THANKS,  YOU MEAN "AGREEMENT!"  NOT MANY LAND LORDS ARE AGREE FOR AGREEMENTS.  WHAT THEY DICTATE BECOMES "LEGAL" TO TENANTS AND ESPICIALLY IN INDUSTRIAL SIDE IT IS 100%.  BUT  BY RENTAL LAW, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE TO ARRANGE FOR SUB METERS IN THE PREMISES? LAND LORD OR TENANTS?

Hi,

The tenant should take care of the expenses for the submeters, as it is only for his usage.  When there is a contract which is legally enforceable, you are obliged to abide by the rules stated therein.  Law is the same for everyone, and no one can make laws of their own, and "Salus populi suprema lex esto" "welfare of people shall be supreme law"

Cheers!
