USo there are state specific legislation governing this matter, as in I am from Bangalore and the KARNATAKA RENT ACT, 1999 protects and establishes the rights and responsibilities of a landlord and in Maharashtra there is The Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 (not sure if there is a new law for this). There are state specific legislation and you will need check that out.
Answering your question in general, once you sign a contract, it is definitely binding. If there is a clause saying that you are responsible for painting once you move out then there must have been a clause on repair and maintenance, which is the duty of a landlord. If not then it is still needless to say that the essential repairs of the property needs to be made by the owner of the property.
You can either issue a legal notice which is generally not effective but an essential part of the process. If this doesn’t work, then either file a complaint before the Rent Control Board. The Rent Control Board handles disputes and adjudicates cases related to the right to fair treatment, privacy, and a safe living environment. Have a better understanding on your local law.
Alternatively you could approach the local jurisdictional police station and file a complaint against the landlord. This won’t amount to anything criminally but the police might help you mediate and sort things out.
UFirstly a husband does not have an automatic “right” to be taken care of by his wife; both partners in a marriage have a mutual responsibility to support each other, and in certain situations, depending on the circumstances, a husband may be able to seek maintenance (being a senior citizen) from his wife if he is unable to support himself, usually through a court order if there is a marital dispute or divorce proceedings underway.Coming to the aspect of ownership of the property, the husband has no legal right to claim ownership over any property owned by the wife in rudimentary terms. More so ever if the wife can prove that the husband did not contribute financially to the purchase of the subject property, there is no way the husband can claim any share/right over the property.
Now, can you evict a husband from their marital home… Absolutely not without the intervention of the court. There is no way a wife cannot evict her husband from the marital home without a court order. However, either spouse can ask the court to order the other spouse to leave the house on the grounds of domestic violence but not on the grounds of public nuisance.
