Sir,
Can some the eminent Lawyers at the Forum please clarify whether the Landlord can claim Property tax from the tenants. Our landlord had been charging us a share of property tax. Now he is stating that the BMC had revised the Property Taxes. The landlords had disputed the claim. The matter was pending in the court. Now the ruling has gone in favour of the BMC and that they (B MC) have claimed arrears for past many years.
The landlord is now claiming the difference for past many years & insisting that we are liable to pay the difference.
Is the claim of the Landlord correct?
The property is in the name of the Landlord . We are staying as tenants for nearly 50 years now. Are the tenants liable for payment of Property Tax levied on the Landlord by the Government?
I shall be grateful if some one please clarify on priority.
Thanks.
