The Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011

Civil201118 sections

The Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011 regulates urban tenancies, rent fixation, eviction procedures, and the duties of property owners and tenants across municipal areas in Chhattisgarh. The Act replaces older tenancy frameworks to create a fast-track dispute resolution mechanism via dedicated Rent Controllers and a state-level Rent Control Tribunal, bypassing traditional civil courts. It enforces mandatory written rental agreements, limits security deposits to three months' rent, restricts arbitrary annual rent increases, and penalizes illegal cut-offs of basic utility services. For ordinary citizens, tenants, and property owners, the statute provides statutory clarity on eviction grounds, timelines, maintenance liabilities, and legal remedies against harassment or rent default.
