Can landlord still demand rent when natural disaster strikes your home?

Natural disasters can disrupt the living conditions of tenants, leading to significant challenges in housing stability. Under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, tenants have the right to terminate leases if their residence is rendered uninhabitable. Moreover, the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, strengthens tenant rights following such incidents, ensuring landlords cannot demand rent for properties until they are fully repaired. These regulations ensure tenants are protected during tumultuous times.
