Govt. proposes Model Tenancy Act to balance interests
The Hindu
It has specific features on dispute redressal, says Ashok
In a move aimed at protecting the interests and rights of both landlords and tenants, the Karnataka government proposes to introduce the Model Tenancy Act, circulated by the Union government, with specific features on dispute redressal. “We are simplifying the current Tenancy Act. While earlier the government had a role in fixing the rent, it is now proposed that the rent should be fixed mutually by both landlord and tenant. Both need to legalise the agreement and upload it on a portal,” Revenue Minister R. Ashok told presspersons here on Thursday. “In case of a dispute, the official concerned will have to settle the matter within 60 days. There will be no more than three chances to postpone the hearing,” he said.More Related News
