In India, the Rent Control Act governs the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants. Let’s address your situation:

  1. Room Repair and Paint:

    • If you had to vacate the room for

      18 days

      due to necessary repairs and painting, you may be eligible for

      compensation

      .

    • You should have

      reported the problem to your landlord

      during your tenancy. This is crucial for claiming compensation.

    • You can take

      legal action

      to seek compensation for the inconvenience caused during those 18 days.

    • Keep records of communication with your landlord regarding the repairs and the period you were unable to occupy the room.

  2. Water Supply Issue:

    • Essential services such as water supply are your basic right as a tenant.

    • Even if you faced a water supply disruption due to the owner’s negligence (such as a faulty pumping motor), you have rights.

    • The landlord

      cannot withdraw essential services

      even if you had rent-related issues.

    • Consider discussing the matter with your landlord and requesting timely repairs.

  3. Legal Steps:

    • Document Everything

      : Maintain records of communication, including emails, messages, or any written complaints.

    • Seek Compensation

      : You can claim compensation for the inconvenience caused during the water supply disruption.

    • Consult Legal Professionals

      : If your landlord refuses to address the issue or compensate you, consider seeking legal advice.

    • Rent Deduction

      : In extreme cases, you may even consider deducting a portion of the rent for the period when essential services were disrupted.
