My landlord has sent me a letter for contribution to the building repairs and he has quoted that I have to contribute my part as per the revision in the Maharashtra rent control act where tenants of building have to contribute their share for the upkeep and maintenance of the bldg.
Where is it mentioned in the Maharashtra rent control act can someone tell me

A.No you have no liability to contribute for any repair of building. You are tenant in respect of tenanted premises so you are legally bound to keep the tenanted premises only habitable and to bear minor repairs but you have no liability for repair of building.

A.Hello Sir
As per the rent control act the landlord is liable to pay dor all the repair works in the property and in case he doesn't pay for the same you have all rights to deduct the expenses occured in repairing in the property. It is the duty of the landlord to pay for all the repairs in the property.
Thanks

A.Hello Sir
The law specifies that the duty to keep premises in good condition, lies on the landlord. If the landlord does not make any repairs within a reasonable time, after a notice of 15 days is served upon him, the tenant may carry out the same and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent. However, the amount deducted against the rent or recoverable in any year, cannot exceed one-fourth of the rent payable by the tenant for that year.
