One of the notable cases involves the landlord’s right to evict the tenant under the following circumstances:
1. Non-payment of rent: If the tenant fails to pay the rent or a portion of it within 30 days from the date of notification by the landlord.
2. Unauthorised subleasing: If the tenant subleases the property without obtaining the landlord’s consent.
3. Unoccupied commercial property: In the case of a local commercial property, if the tenant leaves it unoccupied for 30 days or intermittently for 90 days.
The tenant is required to return the leased property to the owner in the same condition as it was when the contract commenced. It is essential for the tenant to obtain proof of the property's return to the owner. Failing to obtain this evidence could result in the lease contract being regarded as ongoing or continuous.
At the conclusion of the lease contract, the tenant has the right to reclaim their security deposit provided they return the leased property in the same condition as it was when initially received. According to the law, it is mandatory to collect a security deposit from the tenant when entering into the lease agreement to ensure the proper maintenance of the property throughout the contract period. Subsequent to the contract's termination, the landlord is obligated to return this security deposit or the remaining portion thereof to the tenant. It is important to note that comprehensive cleaning and painting of the interior walls upon the tenant's departure is typically the responsibility of the owner, as it is a customary practice and not the tenant's obligation.
It's crucial to distinguish between two categories of maintenance in the context of real estate or its components:
1. Required Maintenance: This pertains to maintenance that directly affects the tenant's ability to fully enjoy the intended benefits of the property. The landlord is responsible for this type of maintenance. If the landlord neglects required maintenance, the tenant may have recourse options, such as terminating the contract, reducing the rent, or conducting the repairs themselves and deducting the costs from the rent.
2. Non-Essential Maintenance: This category of maintenance does not directly impact the tenant's ability to enjoy the intended benefits of the property. Typically, non-essential maintenance is the responsibility of the tenant.
The tenant is obliged to deposit the rent into the Rental Disputes Centre's treasury, following the prescribed 'deposit and offer' memorandum and the center's established procedures. Once the centre receives the rental payment, the landlord is promptly notified. It's crucial to emphasise that upon the judge's acceptance of the request, the tenant is deemed to have fulfilled their rent payment obligation from the date of acceptance.
The tenant has the option to approach the Rental Disputes Centre and initiate legal proceedings, requesting that the landlord be compelled to provide the required documents. To substantiate this claim, the tenant must establish that the proposed renovations do not compromise the property's structural integrity. Furthermore, the tenant should furnish official documentation demonstrating their efforts to obtain the necessary approvals from relevant authorities. These documents serve as crucial evidence in supporting the tenant's case during the legal proceedings.
