- Landlord Responsibilities: Landlords are required to ensure the property is habitable and must provide rent receipts for every payment, maintaining transparency. They are typically responsible for major structural repairs.
- Rent Increases and Eviction: Arbitrary rent increases are not allowed and, in some cases, may require permission from a Rent Controller. Eviction requires specific lawful grounds (e.g., non-payment of rent, misuse of the property) and a proper legal procedure, including a required notice period (often 30 days) before a landlord can seek a court order.
- Documentation is Key: Both parties are advised to keep records of all communications, rent payments, and maintenance requests to provide legal protection in case of a dispute.
