A recurring issue in landlord–tenant disputes is maintenance of the rented property. While tenants are responsible for keeping the property in good condition, landlords must ensure that essential repairs—such as water supply, electricity, and structural safety—are addressed.

Conflicts occur when landlords refuse to undertake necessary repairs, or when tenants neglect their duty and cause damage. The law balances these responsibilities by holding landlords accountable for major repairs and tenants responsible for day-to-day upkeep.

Including specific terms in the lease agreement regarding maintenance responsibilities can reduce such disputes. When disagreements escalate, parties may seek legal remedy through civil courts. In Ludhiana and across Punjab, advocates handling landlord–tenant disputes guide both landlords and tenants in enforcing their rights and ensuring fair outcomes.
