I am a respected doctor who rents a sco in sec 22B in Chandigarh. The greedy NRI building owners wanted to recover rent amounting to lakhs over many years, based on the lease deed, even though they had been accepting Rs 30,000 rent happily over the years from MRI. Unfortunately, our courts have started favoring owners over tenants as there is a big push at both the centre and state level to generate more tax revenue to fund schemes for the poor. As my rent arrears were over 10 lakhs, I could not take a chance and paid the rent controller -call him ***** - over Rs 1 lakh earlier this year to ensure the decision goes my way. He did as directed but left room for a strong appeal. Even bribes don't guarantee honesty these days. - Dr C.
