Landlady stopping water supply.

Hi,

There are no provisions mentioned in the Laws of India that talk about the issue of rent during a pandemic like situation but the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued several statements regarding the issue of rent. The MHA has issued an order that the landlords shall not demand rent from students, poor workers, and migrant labourers and adding that those who would force their tenants out will face action.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also appealed to the landlords to not harass their tenants and warned of strict action against those who are found guilty. He said to that landlords that if the tenants fail to give the rent later, then the government will compensate it.

If the landlady still harasses you, you can file a complaint at the police station against her.

Hope this helps you.
