It is highly recommended to register your rent agreement in Mumbai. This is not mandatory but offers legal protection against disputes with your landlord. You can register it at the sub-registrar’s office by paying a nominal fee, along with the agreement, identity proof, and property documents.

What steps should the landlord take in this situation? Are there any relevant court decisions on non-payment of arrears and user charges, and how can the landlord enforce the court’s order?
