Section 13(1)(l) Bombay Rent Act | Unauthorized Structural Changes & Spouse’s Alternative Residence Justify Eviction : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that tenants making permanent structural alterations-even if reversible-without landlord consent constitute valid grounds for eviction under Section 13(1)(l) of the Bombay Rent Act. The court also clarifies that a tenant’s spouse acquiring residence in another city qualifies as 'suitable residence,' and landlord nuisance claims are actionable if supported by evidence, reinforcing landlord rights in property disputes.
