Circumstances when you can say NO to your landlord

A relationship between a landlord and a tenant is documented in a lease agreement. Therefore in the case of malpractice it is important to pay attention to the length and width of the lease.

Most of us live in a rented house at any time of our lives, with friends or as a family. But how much do we as tenants know about rights?

Therefore in the case of malpractice it is important to pay attention to the length and width of the lease.

We have compiled 10 basic rights that every tenant has and can lawfully state that if not infringed:

1. Verbal or Oral Agreement


If the landlord insists on a verbal agreement for a tenancy rather than a written agreement, say no.

It is important to note that all tenure agreements of ten months or more under tenancy laws must be written and registered for recourse under these laws.

2. Peace of Living


Your landlord cannot walk in the rented premises without prior notice or communication.

Each tenant has the right to enjoy peaceful occupation of property without any disturbance or encroachment from anyone including the owner.

3. Unreasonable expectations


At any point of time under your tenancy your landlord cannot ask you to vacate or leave the premises without giving valid reasons.

4. Improper Information or Notice


The landlord does not have the right to ask you to vacate the premises for any valid reason.

Generally the proper framework of time according to law is the period of one month or the time stated in the terms of the agreement.

5. Illegal Liabilities


Landlords cannot transfer any liability for expenses incurred on the property for structural damage.

Structural changes to the property will only be borne by the owner in accordance with the law.

6. Last Month Settlement


Your landlord has no legal right to ask you to pay rent and not settle against the deposit during the notice period.

7. Deposit Returns


Your landlord must return the amount paid as security for the tenancy while vacating the premises.

8. In case of deceased tenant


The landlord does not have the right to ask the legal heirs of the deceased tenant to vacate without giving valid reasons. The legal heirs of a deceased tenant are legally empowered to continue the tenancy.

9. Increase in rent


Landlords cannot ask for an increase in rent contrary to the terms agreed under the agreement.

And according to state laws, there is a formula to calculate the percentage of increase in rent every year or any other specified period.

The tenant is only liable to pay the rent if the increase in the rent amount complies with the formula.

10. Forced expansion


Your landlord does not have the right to insist on continued tenancy. The tenant has the right to vacate the premises for a valid reason.
