Under the Rent Control Act, tenants have key rights such as protection from arbitrary eviction, fair rent, and essential services. A landlord can evict a tenant only on specific legal grounds like non-payment of rent, subletting, or personal use.
Eviction notices can be challenged by:
Filing a response in the Rent Control Court.
Proving compliance with rent terms.
Contesting false grounds or lack of notice.
Using legal aid if rights are violated.

Under the Rent Control Act, tenants have rights regarding eviction, fair rent, essential services, and privacy. Eviction notices can be challenged in court by proving the landlord's actions are unfair or illegal, and by citing relevant legal provisions.

Under the Rent Control Act in India, tenants have several key rights:
Right against unfair eviction: Landlords cannot evict tenants without valid grounds specified by law, such as non-payment of rent, misuse of property, or personal use by the landlord, and must follow proper legal procedures.
Right to fair rent: Rent must be reasonable and based on property value; excessive rent can be challenged in court.
Right to essential services: Tenants are entitled to basic amenities like water, electricity, and sanitation, which cannot be withdrawn even during disputes.
Right to contest eviction: If a tenant receives an eviction notice, they can challenge it in court if they believe it is unjust or not based on valid legal grounds. Tenants should review their lease agreement, check the grounds for eviction, and respond in writing, seeking legal advice if necessary.
Protection from harassment: Landlords cannot harass tenants or cut off utilities to force eviction

To challenge an eviction notice, tenants should:
Review the grounds for eviction and lease terms.
Respond in writing if the notice is invalid or unclear.
Seek legal assistance to contest the notice in court or before the Rent Control Tribunal.
File for a stay of eviction if the process is unlawful.
