A.Dear Client,
In the absence of specific conditions in the rent agreement, a tenant can not ask the Land Owner to repair the fungus of the affected wall even it is normal wear and tear and also in absence of specific condition, Land Owner cannot deduct the repair cost of it from the security deposit of the tenant. Reach out to an Advocate with a copy of the rent agreement for service of a legal notice to the land Owner failing which you may bring the matter to the notice of the concerned Rent Controller of the area for a resolution in matter.

A.Hello Client,

The Land Lord can not ask you to repair the room as the problem happened from natural causes. it is not created or done by you but if somehow you are liable for any damages to the said rented room then you must compensate for the same in such mode which is written in your rent agreement.

Thanks & Regards

A.Dear Sir,
You may get issue a legal notice and then stop payment of rents until problem is solved. He may get very difficulty to get you vacated if he approaches the Civil Court.
