Damage due to external factor
3 years ago
1. Who is responsible to pay for the damage dues to external factor, is it owner or tenant?
I was living in flat at 1st floor in an apartment at Pune and I and my family was stuck at my permanent location Mumbai due to COVID. Last month I have vacate the rental house. On reaching to my rental house, I found the rat have badly damage my belonging's as well as Owner's Kitchen trolley. Owner is deducting the repair cost Rs.29000 from my security deposit(Rs. 50000) for this.
I feel, I am only responsible for damage caused my me and not liable to pair for damage caused by external factor as in this case. Same as owner cannot claim due to damage to paint due to external leakage from outside
during the monsoon is an example of poor maintainence of the building?
Please correct me if I am legally correct on my view?
It will be best if you solve this issue amicably. You can also go through the rent agreement if there is any condition mentioned as to who will do the repairs.
