The Maharashtra Rent Control Act

The Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 is the cornerstone statute for tenancy regulation, rent fixation, and eviction procedures across Maharashtra. This Naveen Publications edition presents the authoritative, updated text (Mah. Act XVIII of 2000; w.e.f. 31.03.2000), carefully edited by Ms. Anamika Malhotra, Advocate. To enable quick comprehension and confident practice, the book adds a Comparative Table mapping key provisions, the Maharashtra Rent Control Rules, 2017, and the historical Bombay Rents, Hotel and Lodging House Rates Control Act, 1947 for context. Practitioners benefit from a focused Punishments section that collates offences and penalties under MRCA, and Specimen drafts useful for notices and pleadings. Organized section-wise with clear headings, this handy reference supports court work, advisory practice, compliance, and academic study. Whether you’re interpreting tenant protections, assessing landlord rights, preparing eviction actions, or verifying rent control compliance, this volume provides the consolidated statutory material you need—current, reliable, and easy to navigate.
