You have been misinformed.  The property tax has to be paid by the owner of the house property and not the tenant.  If it is a flat, the tenant may have to bear the maintenance charges and other recurring expenses what has been incurred but not the property tax.  About rent and other aspects of additional rent towards the furniture and fittings can be recited and concluded in the rental agreement itself.

As rightly said by the learned Advocate Mr. T. Kalaiselvan, it is the duty of owner to pay tax on the property. In other words, the owner alone will have to face the consequences of non payment of said property tax.

 

The mode of calculation cited in the query to determine the rent, maintenance charge and tax are also having no legal force and not acceptable.
