#tenant protection

Bombay High Court rules that a tenant’s deposit of rent in a standard rent application under Section 11(3) of the Bombay Rent Act fulfills the requirement of a valid tender under Section 12(2), effectively blocking landlord eviction suits for arrears. This holding reinforces tenant protections by clarifying procedural compliance in rent disputes.

Bombay High Court directs landlords to provide alternate accommodation or transit rent before displacing tenants from C-1 category buildings, reinforcing housing rights under Article 21.
