The points are example of harassment. Examine the rent agreement and approach the court if required. Sidharth 9811776422

Hi! In my opinion, some of the things you mentioned above, like restriction upon use of water/access to water, and restriction upon other basic amentities, provide you with the necessary cause of action and you can appraoch the Rent Control Court. However, it'd prove more prudent (and perhaps less expensive) to move out and rent a new place.
