Every tenant should remember that owners have spent his hard earned money on the construction of the house, so he will naturally treat it like his baby. There is no COMPULSION on the tenant to take the house against his wishes. Tenant always has the option of going through the clauses in the agreement before taking the possession. SO WHERE IS THE PROBLEM?. If you do not agree to the clauses, look for somewhere else. OWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO PUT AS MANY CLAUSES AS POSSIBLE TO SAFEGUARD HIS HOUSE. AGAIN NO COMPULSION ON THE TENANT. While leaving the normal deduction towards painting and other repairs and damages and leakage of taps and electrical appliances is a common thing. TENANT CAN ALWAYS CROSS CHECK THE RATES OF PAINTING AND THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL, SO WHERE IS THE PROBLEM OF OVER-CHARGING.
