A.The lock in period is beneficial both ways.

1. Beneficial for the landlord as he can take huge advances
2. beneficial for the tenant as he can stay there for a minimum contracted duration.

Eg: "A" a landlord rents his premise to "B" who wants to use the premise as a car showroom on rent basis. The lock in period is say "Seven Years" it is beneficial both ways. The tenant stays for a minimum period of 7 years which makes the business substantial time to settle in and grow.

A.dear client its beneficial for landlord. If lock period is introduced then the landlord can take more and more advance and if tenant wanted to vacate the premises before that period then you are entitled to forfeit the entire advance amount paid.
