I have a flat owned under the pagadi system. My landlord stays in the same building.
The agreement made at the time of buying this flat, is such that the landlord has made provisions in several clauses such that:
1) The tenants will have to bear the cost of structural repairs to the building.
(Along with rent, other taxes, water and general electricity, lift maintenance and repairs, of which I agree)
2) The terrace and other open areas of the building are used by the landlord to earn revenue by purpose of Cellphone towers, benefit of which, entirely goes to the landlord.
Can I raise voice in the court of law agains such an agreement ? Will this agreement be held valid when comparing to the Maharashtra Rent Control act which states that Landlord must maintain the structural integrity of the property (building).
I signed the agreement, but the agreement was presented only at the time of registration and not before that, so I could not read it earlier.
