Query regarding rent amount on pagdi system home

Hello all,

We have taken pagdi room 32 years ago.

now from 5 years we are living in own flat, and the pagdi room is locked (nobody is living over there)

until now, he charged us rent rupees around 200 per month. which we are giving him till Dec 2013.

we usually pay him on quarterly basis so to pay next bill we went over there on APR 2014 but he refuse to take rent and said that decision of rent rate increase will coming soon and he will charge according to new rates.

yesterday when he called us , we went to pay rent but, he saying that from now onward you need to pay rent 1000 Rs/ month.

He did not repair his building in last 30 years.

Can building owner increase his rates suddenly by 5 times? from 200 to 1000.

Kindly help us

Thanks
Rakesh
