Tenant rights, standard rents in Delhi
18-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
I am staying at as a PG in Delhi. The landlord has given the property to someone else now who will manage the PG for the upcoming time. Now, this new man has set his own T&Cs and fixed a new rent which is 25000. Earlier, I was paying 16000 per month. Now, this is a 9000 increase which he says includes food, laundry, wifi and some library access. He is saying if you want to continue you will have to pay 25000. I mean, for once I can say that okay I will pay 20,000 that is 4k extra for food but for some basic facilities such as laundry and wifi which I don't need he is charging me hefty. When I asked him that out of this 25k how much will you be charging for the accomodation, he didn't disclose. This is tbe height of extorting students. Also, rn I can't afford paid lawyers. As a tenant, what are my rights? It would be great if I can be enlightened plus what are the standards of fixing the rent under sec6&8, Delhi Rent Control Act?
Hi
Your right is that you have to be given a notice before he wants you evicted from that property. Otherwise, you are not covered under the Delhi Rent Control Act since your rent is more than three thousand five hundred rupees. We would have to study your rent agreement regarding the clause of increase in rent.

When you say the landlord has given the property, do you mean he has sold it? Depending on what rights your landlord has transferred, the person in question may not even be entitled to demanding the rent if he is not the legal owner of the property (unless the facts are otherwise).
