Yes, your landlord can file a legal case against you for non-payment of rent even if you plan to pay within a week. In India, non-payment of rent is a breach of the lease agreement, and your landlord has the right to pursue legal action, including eviction proceedings.

I’ve been renting a house for 15 months. The original agreement was for 11 months. My landlord recently raised the rent by over 15% and pressured me to sign a new agreement. He even backdated the new agreement to make it seem like I’ve only been living there for a month. Now, he’s trying to make me move out so he can get an extra month’s rent. Does this mean the old agreement is no longer valid? (I still have a copy of the original agreement).

Previous Article We recently purchased a top-floor apartment in a well-regarded society in Delhi. We were assured that the mobile tower would be removed after a residents’ meeting decision. However, despite a 9-year contract with no termination clause, the RWA has now installed 3G, digital TV, and Wi-Fi on the existing tower. Our building is over 20 years old, with existing cracks and seepage. Now, my newly renovated flat has also developed cracks. What legal action can I take to get this tower removed?
Next Article My wife and I, both senior citizens, booked a hotel through MakeMyTrip. Upon arrival, we found the hotel to be isolated and had to drive 80km to find a new place. I tried calling MakeMyTrip repeatedly, but could only hear a recorded message. After five hours, I finally got through to them via email and they called me, expressing regret for the inconvenience. They reversed the amount I paid, but I’d like to know how to claim for the travel expenses and the mental stress we went through. What advice can you give?
