Jammu and Kashmir Tenancy Act, 2025<\/p>\n

On 1-11-2025, the Jammu and Kashmir Tenancy Act, 2025<\/span><\/a> was enacted to regulate renting of premises, safeguard landlord and tenant rights, and establish a speedy dispute resolution mechanism. The Act requires all tenancy agreements to be in writing and registered with the Rent Authority<\/span>, which maintains a digital platform and issues unique identification numbers.<\/p>\n

The Act defines landlord, tenant, subtenant, property manager, rental agent, Rent Authority, Rent Court, and Rent Tribunal. It binds successors to tenancy agreements in case of death, restricts subletting except through supplementary agreements, and regulates rent payable, revision, disputes, and security deposits (capped at 2 months’ rent<\/span> for residential and 6 months<\/span> for non-residential premises).<\/p>\n

Rights and obligations include duplicate tenancy agreements retained by both parties, mandatory rent receipts, deposit of rent with the Rent Authority if landlords refuse acceptance, shared repair and maintenance responsibilities, tenant duties to care for premises, and landlord entry with 24hour notice except in emergencies. Essential services like water, electricity, sanitation, parking, and communication links cannot be withheld.<\/p>\n

Eviction is permitted only through Rent Court orders<\/span> on specified grounds such as nonpayment, misuse, unauthorized subletting, or structural changes. Legal heirs can seek possession upon the landlord’s death if they have bona fide need. Tenants overstaying will be required to pay enhanced rent, double for 2 months, then quadruple thereafter. Orders for recovery of possession bind all occupants, and tenants will give at least 1 months’ notice before vacating.<\/p>\n

The Act establishes Rent Authorities (Deputy Collectors), Rent Courts (Additional Collectors\/ADMs), and Rent Tribunals (District Judges\/ADJs). Appeals from Rent Courts lie to Rent Tribunals within 30 days, to be disposed of within 60 days.<\/p>\n

The Act repeals the Jammu and Kashmir Residential and Commercial Tenancy Act, 2012<\/span> but saves pending proceedings under it.<\/p>\n
