This query is : Resolved
Respectfully response is requested from the experts having knowledge of Maharashtra Rent Control Act and and have dealt with such issues under the act.
1)Can a tenant be evicted under above act on the ground that he/she has alternate accommodation which actually was an investment for business of Serviced Apartment ?
2)It was a trend earlier that the owner (land lord) would take 33.3% of the tenancy premises value resulting in exploitation of tenants as all tenancies are created after collecting hefty Goodwill (Pagdi) amount that too in cash. Is there any provision to fix the % payable to the land lord under current act of 1999. If not then how such exploitation can be stopped.

[1] Under Maharashtra Rent Act 1999, a tenant can not be evicted for possessing an alternate accommodation, unless the Landlord can prove his bonafide needs.
[2] There is no provision in the Maharashtra Rent Act 1999 to fix the charges of the Landlord for transfer of Rent receipts.
Good Luck

Dear Sir,
Thanks. Perhaps you are the only one expert in this forum having dealt with Maharashtra Rent Control Act. At time it feels very frustrating when some one on panel gives mediocre response to such important query without even knowing the act. Just for the sake of earning some points. May God bless you.
