Supreme Court and Tenants

The Supreme Court has put up a "good behaviour" signal for tenants, making it clear that those who misbehave with the owner of the premises are liable for eviction. Do you think that this law will put the tenants in a more difficult situation ?

Niceguy251 says: As it is one finds it hard to get a house on rent with "hazar nakhrays" of landlords asking for company lease or short period lease etc, this will definitely used for harrassment by some of the landlords who just wish to get higher rentals.

LP53 says: The 'signal' is directed at the legislators to remind them their task. Juidiciary , howsoever reformist orientated, is not the arbiter of social issues.

Ruggedboyz says:now i dont want to look at this issue in a cynical way but instead; i did want to think why did supreme court do this and what was going through their, mind when they thought of doing it offcourse supreme court didnt want to give tenants a tough time the intention was for giving the owner of a property the powet to retain their space without many hassles also this did keep the vandalism of tenants at bay and thus make more people rent houses for they will be not be the same anxious souls before they rent their place as they were before

Virtualscorpio says:Most laws r made to help people. In India, most laws are misused & the common man is harrased. Somebody getting a better rent 4 his premises, midway during a tenure will just evict the tenent, citing bad behaviour...Phir ladtey raho.. :((

Lionking says:it is good that the supreme court has set some guidelines for tenents in regard their behaviour, when they take a house on rent. That is good. but, there should also be some guidelines framed against those owners who rent their houses and profit by taking rent, so that these owners dont harress the tenents too... there should be a two way set guidelines ... and not just guidelines targetted at one party.

Tejbir says: this i guess will give rise to slew of frivolous cases on basis of misbehavior from land lords i hope we get to see some objective law formation in this matter
