Frequently Asked Questions
A valid rent agreement clearly states the names of landlord and tenant, address of the property, amount of rent, duration of the lease, security deposit, responsibilities for repairs, and terms of termination. It’s important because it reduces ambiguity, provides legal evidence if disputes arise, and ensures both parties know their rights and obligations.
No. Even when rent is overdue, eviction cannot happen immediately or by force. The landlord must follow legal eviction process, usually giving notice, filing a suit or application before the appropriate authority or court, and only after legal procedures are satisfied can eviction be ordered.
Yes. Landlords are generally required to keep the premises in a habitable condition, which includes providing essential services such as water, electricity, sanitation, and ensuring structural safety. If the landlord fails to do so, the tenant may approach the appropriate authority or court seeking restoration and compensation.
The tenant provides a security deposit at the start of the tenancy. When the tenancy ends, the landlord should return the deposit after deducting any legitimate expenses—like unpaid rent, damages beyond normal wear and tear, or breach of lease terms. The landlord must give a clear account of deductions; arbitrary or excessive deductions can be challenged legally.
Rent increases should ideally be mentioned in the rent agreement. Otherwise, if local rent laws apply (such as the Punjab Rent Act), increases may only be lawful up to certain limits or following prescribed procedure. A landlord seeking increase typically has to give notice and follow the legal framework; tenants can challenge unfair increases through rent authorities or courts.
