What are Rent Control Suits, and why are they important?
Not only against the tenants, but such suits are also filed for the inappropriate conduct of the landlords. Random and arbitrary increases in rent and unethical evictions can be prevented and penalised. We, as lawyers, also work for standardized and fair rentals. The Rent Control Act is a law that controls and monitors the relationship between landlords and tenants. This act protects their rights. It also states rules for renting out properties. The Central Rent Control Act was passed in 1948. Later, every state framed its individual Rent Control Act, wherein the State of Kerala passed the Kerala Building (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965.
As the name suggests, the disputes regarding the lease of land are outside the purview of Rent Control courts and will be an original suit before an appropriate court.
At TGC Legal, our expert litigation team specialises in handling rent control suits that arise from the violation of tenancy laws and lease terms. These suits are commonly filed when tenants fail to comply with conditions laid out in a valid office space/residence rental agreement or delay payments, leading to disputes. We support landlords and property owners in initiating legal action for reasons such as non-payment of rent, breach of lease obligations, or the landlord’s genuine requirement for reclaiming their property. We also support the tenant to defend or oppose rent control suits filed against them.
