🎯 Answer: As a tenant, you have a range of legal rights that protect you under Indian law—primarily governed by the Rent Control Act (state-specific) and the Model Tenancy Act, 2021. So, no, your landlord can’t just kick you out on a whim, and they can’t charge you a rent that’s not agreed upon.

⚖️ Key Rights You Should Know:
-
Right to Quiet Enjoyment – Your landlord cannot disturb your peaceful living. You have the right to live in your rental property without unnecessary interference.
-
Right to Timely Repairs – The landlord must maintain the property and fix any damage or issues (like plumbing, electricity, etc.) that affect your safety or comfort.
-
Right to Notice Before Eviction – Landlords cannot evict you without giving adequate notice. This notice period varies, but 6 months is common in many states.
-
Right to a Fair Security Deposit – Landlords cannot charge unreasonable amounts for a security deposit. They must return it (minus legitimate deductions) when you vacate.

Unreasonable Rent Increases: If your landlord raises rent unfairly, you can dispute it under the Rent Control Act.
