Hello,

1) The draft Act proposes to establish a rent authority that will regulate the renting of premises. Once the property owner and tenant sign the agreement, they will need to inform the rent authority within two months of signing it.

The proposed authority will issue a unique identification number to both the parties. The information submitted to the authority will be taken as evidence of facts related to the tenancy.

2) The draft Act proposes to cap the security deposit to a maximum of two months’ of rent for residential properties and a minimum of one month’s rent for non-residential ones.

3) It provides compensation for the landlord if he gives a notice to the tenant based on the conditions stated in the agreement, but the latter doesn’t vacate the house in time. The compensation is double the monthly rent for two months and four times after that.

4) The increase in rent must be based on the terms set out in the tenancy agreement. The owner has to give a written notice three months before the revised rent is implemented.

5) If the tenant doesn’t give a notice of termination of tenancy, it will be deemed that he has accepted the increased rent proposed by the owner.

5) Model Tenancy Act  will not be binding on states that are free to make changes based on what they feel is right for their residents

There is no possibility of implementation of new modes tenancy Act in Mumbai. For further clarification you may contact me. Hit the like button if the advice is useful to you.   

Mumbai Pagdi Tenants have to pay Market Rate Rent as per new Model Rent Act. The government while pursuing its ambitious dream to provide 'Housing for All by 2022', the Central Government circulated the draft Model Rent Act, in order to boost supply in the rental housing segment.

The draft Model Rent Act circulated by the central government to the states, if implemented in Mumbai, tenants whose families are residing in the old buildings and chawls by paying meagre rents could now face the prospect of shelling out market rents to their landlords.

The proposed Act will allow landlords to levy whatever rent and increase it as they deem fit. It will apply to all tenants, tenancies and premises, and will apply to all tenants and tenancies ad premises, and will not protect even those who in the past paid huge 'pagdi. to landlords to occupy the tenanted premises. 

Dear sir/maam,

yes it will. India Gears Up to Implement Rental Housing Policy.  Therefore, the immediate implementation of a sound rental policy is a must. The Model Tenancy Act, 2020 aims to bridge the trust deficit between tenants and landlords by clearly delineating their obligations.
