Tenants Rights: Can a landlord vacate the house before 11 months? Tenants should know their rights
Tenants Rights: Often people are afraid of renting a house, fearing that the landlord may ask them to vacate the house before 11 months. You should not have to take your belongings and go out to look for a house before 11 months... In such a situation, it is important for you to know your rights-
Breaking News, Digital Desk- (Tenants Rights) Sneha took a rented house in Sector 34, Noida, where the landlord told that all the services like inverter, geyser and RO were new.
Within three days of shifting to the house, the RO and inverter broke down, which revealed that they were old. This deception started a dispute between the landlord and the tenant.
As a result, the landlord asked Sneha to vacate the house in just 6 months despite the 11-month agreement. In such a situation, the question arises whether the landlord can ask the tenant to vacate the house before the time period given in the rent agreement?
The basic terms in a rent agreement are-
According to Delhi High Court lawyer Nishant Rai, rental income has become an important source in tier-1 and tier-2 cities, including both residential and commercial properties.
However, rent agreements often cover only the basics and lack clear rules. In India, rent agreements usually depend on mutual understanding between the landlord and the tenant, but in recent years, the trend of rent agreements has increased in many cities including Delhi-NCR. Nishant says that the rent agreement is a legal document that contains many conditions that both parties must follow.
The landlord can vacate the house before 11 months-
If the agreement mentions a tenure of 11 months and the tenant and the landlord mention a tenure, then within that period, the tenant and the landlord are in a contractual agreement.
Within this period, the landlord cannot increase the rent unnecessarily. But in this case, the landlord can ask the tenants to complete the notice period and vacate the house as per the contract. However, in case of forced eviction or any dispute, the tenant also has the right to raise his objection.
Tenant can take help of police-
Lock-in period in rent agreement means a fixed time in which both the landlord and the tenant are bound by the agreement. During this period, neither party can give notice to end the agreement.
If you break the agreement during this period, no legal action will be taken against you, but you may be bound to pay rent till the completion of the period.
For other problems, the tenant can take help of police or law. To avoid this, read and understand the terms of the lock-in period carefully before signing the agreement.
