A tenant refuses a legal rent increase according to RERA, what to do?

Hello,

My tenant refused a legal rent increase according to RERA rental increase calculator and asked me to find a new tenant.

After a couple of weeks, he changed his mind and didn't want to move out and didn't accept the increase saying that it is now less than 90 days to the end of the contract and I didn't send him notice through a notary.

If I file a case at RDC, who pays for all the RDC fees and lawyer fees? Does he have to pay for RDC fees and my lawyer fees as I have to pay RDC fees first in order for the process to start?

As mentioned, you have to pay the fees and can recover later.

Also, it would be better if you can send a legal notice for not accepting the increased rent, through the notary public. It is better to do that through a lawyer.

Regarding the lawyer fees, it is your expenses, and the court shall oblige him to pay the court fees.
