https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291339 A rent-control statute with a self-contained scheme was read as fixing fair rent for the building, not as allowing a landlord to override an existing contractual rent while the lease continued. The majority view held that a landlord could seek fixation of fair rent only after lawful termination of the contractual tenancy, because the Act regulated the rent payable by the tenant whether the tenancy was contractual or statutory. In the connected matter, the rent ceiling was applied after excluding the 1949 variation agreement, so the building remained within the Act and the constitutional challenge was not examined. en-us Tue, 11 Dec 1973 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 13:26:38 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291339 A rent-control statute with a self-contained scheme was read as fixing fair rent for the building, not as allowing a landlord to override an existing contractual rent while the lease continued.
