In What Ways Will Rent Courts Resolve Landlord-Tenant Disagreements? The Draft Model Tenancy Act, 2019 (MTA, 2019) was released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to govern the leasing of properties in a transparent and effective manner through a Rent Authority.

What makes up a rent court's structure? The Act allows each Union Territory & State (UT/State) administration in the nation to establish whatever many Rent Courts they see fit in the relevant geographic area. If a Rent Court already exists in a UT/State under another law, the MTA, 2019, can designate the same court as a Rent Court. Any other court established under any other law may be assumed to be a rent court under the MTA, 2019 if such a court is not present in the region. If a state or UT establishes more than two Rent Courts in a given area, the relevant government may make a specific order to control how business is divided among them. After holding a proper meeting with the High Court, the concerned UT/State government would assign the two members and Presiding Officer of a Rent Court. The Presiding Officer or even a Member of a Rent Court may only be appointed by a member of the State Higher Judicial Service.
