Rental house rent increase issue

Dear Lawyers/Experters,

I'm Prakash from Bangalore and working in pvt IT company, Bangalore. I am currently stay in Rental house with my family since from Feb-14th-2011.

As per the rental agreement currently i paid monthly rent Rs.8000/- rent plus Rs.100/- maintenance charges and after completion of 11month the price will be increase Rs.10% of rent

But Dec 1st 2011 my house owner was said:

1. From Jan 2012 onwards to increase rental Rs.12000/- and also u can shift any other house.

2. The market price & demand increase so rent will increase.

When i occupied this house the owner was said:

1. There are many tenant stay long back and no issue here.

2. House Painting charges Rs.8000 for one month rent amount i paid.

Recently my house owner rented the second floor house for "Bachelor". They will pay more amounts. So he plan to increase rental and also inform vacate to the entire tenant.

Currently my daughter is doing nursery in near my home. So I can't shift right now and will extend to shifting April 2012(School end period). I am ready to pay 10 to 20% but 50% i can’t pay.

Please help and suggest to us.

Thanks & Regards,

Prakash P

The agreement is valid till Jan4th and he don't have any right to get you to vacate and if you revise @10% for the next year also he can't do any thing hence don't worry. Any issue approach court and pay the rent to the court and it will continue for next 5 to 10 years.

I am also faced with a similar situation.

My lease is ending in the next few days. My current landlord proposed to increase the rent by 40% if I would like to continue further. The lease agreement said " at least 10% increase or mutually agreed". He is not listening and saying that the current market price is similar to this. However, the surrounding and facilities provided to us differs and the comparison is uncalled for. What should I do? I have a small family and not in a situation to relocate again.

Though I am ready to pay 10% increase as the lease agreement says so. Nothing beyond that.

Please help.
