I am willing to participate any debate or TV show or discussion to explain that how sixty years landlords have been made to suffer and tenants , politicians never considered any relief to them as they are in minority and tenant are having more voting strength.

Firstly this proposed law protects small tenants. Even bigger tenants pay only small percentage of their declared income. So creamy layered tenants are not 5 lacs. And come and see facts of my two buildings where tenants do not pay rent as meager as Rs 40/- pm but give to dish antenna connection 500/- pm. There is a tenant Purohit with palatial bungalow in Jaipur, flies to US several times a year for gems and jewellery export business but to court he says he is poor and can't afford more than Rs 500/- per month as a mesne profit. This poor Purohit hired one of the costliest advocate D C Mehta. who wields lot of influence, Chadha has car worth Rs 10 lacs. Investment in shares for over few crores and claims he gets dividends more than Rs 10 lac a year. But does not pay rent for legally occupient 4 rooms for Rs 120/- pm and illegally erecting car shed , illegally covering common passage and so on. Mrs Bina Chowdhury filed a case in the year 1990 claiming that terrace too is tenanted to her. If she shows one single document which supports her claim then I will make her tenant of terrace too. But her influential advocate obtained injunction against me for terrace. Her advocate has ensured that case does not move an inch in 24 years and I am made to run to court for 24 years. She pays rs 138/- pm but occupies legally about six hundred square feet but claims she is tenant of entire floor consisting of common toilets and passage and terrace and space below staircase. She is also tenant of Wadia estate for over 15000 sq feet property and also tenant of another person for entire bungalow known as Jariwala building. She has huge investments but court is swayed by her old age, presentation and her advocate. Trespassers

  Sandeep Jain I am fully with you in this matter.Please write a nice mail to the prime minister and the law minister asking them to change the laws. Even a slum dweller must be paying more than 500 to 1000 rs. per month. As I told you earlier sit on a dharna in front of the chief judge's office. Bring some media. Try to approach media houses like NDTv, Times now etc. We are not Salman Khan sir. We have to slog it out to get justice. That's the sorry state of our county today.

  Jitendra Gupta I fully agree with ur point of view as a landlord, but remember, all these years property outgoings such as collector property tax, Khod lease rent, Municipality property tax r also freeze, for decades on all tenanted properties, and where recently some increase in municipal property tax has taken place for tenanted properties, landlord have increased the rend accordingly. Any relief if at all landlord receives if rent control act is released, immediate effect will be in increase out goings in way of increase property taxes by different departments. so finally landlord may end up at square one.I am sure u must be paying just in two figures as annual rent to collector for ur property and just three figure to Khod and municipality.

  Alok Tholiya Dear Sandeep , a hawker near Santacruz East station pays rs 12500/- as monthly hafta /bribe to police and BMC for sitting on road in heat and dust and rain.

But rent in my best quality best maintained RCC building with garden, terrace, 24 hrs water , electricity and so on is Rs 40/- p.m. and that too 50% of tenants / trespassers do not pay. If u came and want to check all what I have stated then pl. visit me.

  Alok Tholiya Dear Jitendra , Pl. note that never ever any taxes , water charges, electricity charges, gas charges, salary of sweeper, lift man, gardener, watchman were frozen. Cement and reti became 100 times more costly and rents were frozen in 50s for 2 years and r still same due to vote bank. All this made landlords living on rental income were made poor and hapless. No one could maintain buildings and buildings are falling. Rent has not increased but property tax has increased 200% to 300% . Same is recoverable from tenants but tenants do not pay that and going to court is further unviable. Besides there r several hurdles in recovering as calculation and area of tenant mentioned by BMC staff is disputable.

  Alok Tholiya I paid bribe / bakshis to BMC staff for releasing wood for burning my father's dead body at crematorium. I paid speed money for death certificate. I paid huge fees to advocate for probating will and he in turn paid bribe to high court staff for speeding same. For name change of deceased city survey office asking for bribe of Rs 5 lacs. BMC staff for name change on shops and establishment, licences etc asking for 5000/- . as bribe. But as a landlord I have never asked single penny from dependants of tenant for name change . Come and verify same as same is illegal and immoral too.Use of I stand here for general public.

  Alok Tholiya I pay parking charges everywhere I go. When tenants took premises they never had a vehicle and purchased years/ decades after. They immorally as they are who want everything from landlord for free ka, haram ka and so on park their vehicle forcibly inside. Polite request does not work. Fighting is unfortunately not taught by my parents ( learn about my parents from their samaj, neighbours, and groups they were associated) police refuses to take action as is a civil matter , and if u fight ( which I will not) then there is one landlord and several tenants and trespassers so physically they r powerful, I do not use abuses / bad words and a punjabi tenants uses it as a free flow ganga before all men women and children and so on. Advocate charged me consultation fees of Rs 5000/- which is double then my annual rental income and advised to keep watchman for 24 hours which will cost me rs 12000/- X 12 months which will take away in a year my rental income of life time or said that we will file a case but I will get justice after 30 years or in my next life. These are hard facts.
