Questions & Answers
Can I sue a property management company for maintenance issues?
Dear Sir/Madam,
We rented a property from a property management company on April 25th and started staying there from that date. We paid the initial rent and deposit as mentioned by the bank.
However, there are many maintenance issues in the flat that they have not fixed even after we complained continuously.
We are suffering a lot due to this.
I want to know if we can file a case on this, as the conditions of the government contract agreement have not been met.
Dear Questioner,
Yes, you have the right to file a rental case, because in the rental relationship: the lessor loses the use of his property in order to obtain the money, and the tenant loses his money in order to obtain the benefit from the property.
The tenant's benefit from the property is reduced if it needs maintenance, and therefore the money that the lessor gets must be reduced.
