Current rent is 13k, security paid was 31k.

He’s saying going to increase rent to 14k and security to 50k so I have to shell out 20k more.

Bangalore

Can they do that? 50k would be 3 months of security and as far as I know only 2 months of security can he collected.

Indian politicians are busy sucking eachother’s Ds, you honestly think they will legislate and pass clear and concise laws so businesses and consumers can transact with eachother without friction?

There is no legality. And your houseowner can do anything! But, tell him to first send back the old amount first, and then renew contract if he doesn’t budge from his demand!
