Rent-Not, My Property Rights!

property clat_pg intermediate law_vs_life

So, I was negotiating with my landlord for a rent hike, and I was all like "Arre, sahab, main toh abhi tak 4-sala student hoon, mujhe toh 2000 ka rent chukana hai hi nahi!" (Translation: "Sahib, I'm still a 4th-year student, how can I pay 2000 rent?"). And he's all like "Koi baat nahi, mere 2 lacs ka flat hai, main toh property dealer hoon!" (Translation: "No issue, my flat is worth 2 lacs, I'm a property dealer!").

And that's when I thought of Section 3 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 - 'Sale of immovable property'.

"Maine aapki baat suni hui hai, lekin meri nazar mein yeh theek nahi lag raha. Rent-Not bill se to property ka haq khatre mein padh jayega, khud kareeb se dhang se nahin samjhaya gaya hai. Isse unke liye bhi zaroori hoga kuch karna jo isse nahi seekhte, jaise koi bhi ghar chhodke wahan shift karne ka faisla lagaayenge.
