Landlord forcing me to pay rent
Landlord forcing me to pay rent
4 years ago
I had to vacate my house on 3rd April but could not do so due to the lockdown. I told my landlord that i will do so post the lockdown is lifted and i will pay him rent for 15 days. My landlord however insists that he needs full month rent as it is a rule/law, no such thing is mentioned in my rent agreement also. What should i do?
A.Owing to the present scenario you may have to stay there for the time the lockdown is on unless you have some other accommodation in the town. Thus talk to your landlord and try to settle the issue and i n case of forced eviction or him demanding rent, approach the local police.
Thank You.

A.Dear Sir,
You are correct. Even government saying the landlords shall not insist for rents during COVID 19 period of three months or so.
