Section 5(2) limits rent increases where the accommodation remains the same, and ordinary repairs do not change its identity. On the facts, the alterations were merely repairs and the accommodation was unchanged; alternatively, even if a change had occurred, there was no agreement or written notice fixing the higher rent. The enhancement was therefore contrary to Section 5, and the conviction under Section 8 was sustained. en-us Fri, 09 Dec 1949 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 22 Jun 2020 15:25:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288668 Rent charged after alleged improvement of the accommodation was held to be an impermissible enhancement, not a fresh fixation, under the Temporary Control of Rent and Eviction Act, 1947.
