Traditional rent control laws tenants ko sudden eviction aur unreasonable rent hikes se protect karne ke liye banaye gaye the, especially post-war ya housing shortage periods me. Inka effect yeh hua ki landlord easily “kal khali karo” nahi bol sakta, aur rent increase pe limits lag jate hain.

Common protections:

• Eviction only specific grounds pe – like non-payment, bona fide owner requirement, damage, illegal use,
  
• Rent increase caps ya formula-based revisions,
  
• Heritable tenancy – tenant ke death ke baad certain family members continue kar sakte hain.
  

Flip side: overly strict rent control se landlords new properties rent pe dene se darne lagte hain, jisse formal rental market shrink ho jata hai. Isliye modern reforms market freedom aur tenant security ka balance dhoondne ki koshish kar rahe hain.

Tenant ke liye key advice:

• Written rent agreement rakho,
  
• Receipts ya bank transfers se payment karo,
  
• Subletting ya commercial use without permission avoid karo,
  
• Maintenance aur conduct responsibilities seriously lo.
  

Landlords ke liye:

• Proper paperwork + police verification,
  
• Clear notice and legal process follow karo,
  

“Dadagiri” ya self-help eviction se door raho; yeh beech me aapko hi fasa sakta hai.
