A few weeks ago, my neighbour asked me, “can a landlord kick out a disabled person?” I said although there are few exceptions, landlords can’t evict a disabled person. In India, the eviction of a disabled person involves legal protections. It safeguards the rights of individuals with disabilities. Check out some key legal aspects:
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act of 2016 provides various rights and protections to persons with disabilities. It ensures homeowners will not discriminate against them in housing.
Landlords can not use the disability as a basis for discrimination.
A landlord can only evict a tenant (including a disabled person) on valid grounds. It is mentioned under local tenancy laws. Some of them include non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, etc.
Local tenancy rules protect the rights of tenants. Owners or tenants must follow it.
Landlords must provide reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities.
A disabled renter may take legal action. They can take help from consumer forums or legal aid agencies.
Some states may have additional regulations or protections for tenants with disabilities, which can further affect eviction proceedings.
