Indian laws do not explicitly permit or prohibit balcony enclosure. However, your society’s by-laws and the local municipal corporation’s regulations would govern this. You must obtain necessary approvals from both your society and the municipality before enclosing your balcony.

I rented a house in India under a Leave and License agreement. I moved out on September 30th, leaving some belongings behind with the owner’s agreement. We decided to clean the house before I collected my things. However, the owner is now withholding ₹6,000 from my ₹40,000 security deposit and demanding I paint the house and get pest control. This is happening after 45 days since the agreement ended, and he was supposed to return the balance by November 15th as per our agreement. We even had a WhatsApp chat confirming we mutually agreed to keep my belongings there for a while. What are my legal options in this situation?

My family rented out our house in South Delhi back in 2013. We had a one-year agreement that we renewed in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, when the lease ended, we asked the tenants to move out because they were often late with the rent, and even missed a month’s payment in February 2015. They agreed to leave within a month. We didn’t renew the agreement. But, they didn’t leave after a month and instead asked for four more months, which we agreed to in writing. Even after those four months, they asked for another month to move out as they were short on funds. We gave them that extra month, but they’re still there and haven’t paid rent for the last two months. If we go to court, how long might it take to get them out of the house?

My husband and I have been estranged since 2009 and he hasn’t been in touch. We live in our family home in Mumbai, but he owns it. We also own another flat. I’m in the process of transferring our house into my name since I pay the bills and take care of maintenance. However, my society says I can’t rent out the other flat because I’m not the owner. Is this true? Can I legally rent out our other flat even though I’m still his wife?

Having lived in my home for over 40 years, it’s a comfortable 12-decimal plot. Is it possible to buy a property like this at a reasonable price, according to the current market?

Our apartment complex, SLS Splendor in Bangalore, recently introduced an extra Rs. 500 monthly charge for tenanted properties, despite only a small fraction of residents attending the meeting where the decision was made. This feels unfair, as it seems to benefit a select group of owners while burdening renters. Is there a legal basis to challenge this decision, or is it likely to be upheld in court?

Previous Article My wife and I have been married for four months now. Unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with a mental health condition, something her family didn’t disclose to me before the wedding. They refuse to accept the diagnosis, even though doctors have confirmed it. This has impacted our relationship, including intimacy.

Next Article Ramesh, a young man from India, was excited to find Sujata’s profile at a marriage bureau. She was described as an IAS officer seeking a suitable partner. After verifying her credentials, Ramesh found that Sujata was indeed a newly appointed IAS officer and they soon got married in a court ceremony. A year later, a baby girl was born. However, Ramesh soon discovered that his wife’s claims were false. She wasn’t an IAS officer and had lied about her age. Devastated and feeling betrayed, Ramesh filed for divorce, citing fraud and deceit. The trial court, however, ruled against Ramesh, ordering him to pay a significant amount of alimony to Sujata and their daughter – exceeding half his salary. Ramesh, appealing to the Supreme Court, questioned the court’s decision: Should a woman who intentionally deceived a man into marriage be entitled to maintenance? Is it fair to allow a woman who deliberately entrapped a man to benefit from her actions?
