Yes and no. Tenant laws are strict in India and usually favour the tenant. The owner/landlords are to blame for this (I am a landlord myself).For many years, landlords were fleecing the tenants. Many still do. Please read this article: Rent Control in Mumbai - The Takshashila Institution. The old act became detrimental to tenants and especially landlords. Adverse possession by tenants has happened due to old rent control act. For this purpose the new act came: https://housing.maharashtra.gov.in/Sitemap/housing/pdf/actsrules/THE_MAHARASHTRA_RENT_CONTROL_ACT.pdf. This eliminated rent control and brought about “leave and license” rules. Please plug out the respective law in your statement and let me know the exact law to which you object.The new law says that the landlord must do the following:Prepare a “Leave and License” lease agreement.Register the agreement. Even a one month agreement must be registered. Many landlords believe that a tenement of less than 12 months need not be registered. Hence they make 11 months lease. This is wrong belief. Such landlords are not obeying the law.The lease agreement must clearly mention the following:PAN Card of landlord and tenantThe monthly lease fee or rentThe security depositThe lease start date and lease end date (lease period)Lease lock-in period. This is not necessarily same as lease period. Lease period can be 3 years, but lock-in period could be 6 months or 12 months. It could even be 3 years.Notice period to quit lease which is applicable on both parties.The deposit refund processCourt of jurisdiction in case of a dispute.Landlord must show the rental income and pay income tax.p/s. As a landlord, I do all of the above.But landlords, in order to avoid income tax mostly, do not do any of the above. Laws against landlords are meant to act as punitive against these malpractices. Also, unscrupulous landlords evict tenants. Most tenants have no way to a recourse. These are mostly out-of-town migrants who are living in current tenancies for job, etc. They are often helpless.As they always say - one cannot clap with one hand.pps.

That depends on your arrangement. I’m gathering from your question that you don’t have a lease. That’s a bad idea. The lease sets forth each of your rights and responsibilities, from when to pay the rent to whether you have access to the kitchen.If you aren’t renting the room, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have living room or kitchen access. You need to spell that out Are you sharing food or do you have the left side and the owner the right? And these questions imply are you renting that room or are you paying rent to stay in their house?If that is your room, then you need to defend your privacy. But the biggest concern is do you have tenancy. Tenancy guarantees you certain rights as defined in your state. For example, if you have your Driver’s License and Cell Phone bill sent time that address that would generally prevent the owner from just kicking you out in the muddle of the night.If they wanted you to leave, you could force them to follow the law for an eviction. Meaning they have to give you 30 days notice so that you have an opportunity to find other accommodations. What would you do if they called the police and said this person won’t leave - they’re trespassing?If you can pull out your license of ID with that address, the owner cannot claim you are trespassing.However, if you are in some form of a domestic relationship with this person, that room does not exclusively belong to you. The situation you are in is not good. But if you take some steps ASAP you can set the ground rules. You can download sample leases for your state from the Internet from the state Apartment Association.Then you can customize it to your needs. Make two copies that you both sign.
