A. Dear Client

There is no specific law in India that mandates a fixed percentage for extra maintenance charges for tenant-occupied flats in privately owned residential complexes.

An eviction notice must be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction, stating the basis for eviction as well as the time and date by which the tenant must leave the property, and it must then be issued to the tenant. The landlord must allow the tenant a reasonable amount of time to quit the rented property. ...ReadMore
