When should Form C (Application for deposit of rent) be used in Delhi?
Use Form C under the Delhi Rent Control Rules, 1959 to deposit rent with the Controller when the landlord refuses to accept rent, there is a bona fide doubt about the payee, or other circumstances warrant deposit; the form specifies premises, period, rate, landlord details, reasons, and tender method.
What is covered by Form A under the Delhi Rent Control Rules?
Form A is the standard application before the Controller used for matters such as fixation of standard rent, increase/revision of rent, or eviction, capturing property details, parties, rateable value, prior fixation, sub-tenancy, and grounds including eviction grounds under Section 14.
What are key statutory grounds for eviction under the Delhi Rent Control Act?
Section 14 outlines grounds including non-payment of legally recoverable arrears despite demand, unauthorized use, unsafe/unfit premises requiring repairs, bona fide need for building/rebuilding, tenant acquiring or building a residence, and service tenancies ending with employment.
What should an application to deposit rent contain?
It should state identification of premises, period and monthly rate, landlord details, reasons for deposit (refusal/doubt), amount, whether utilities are included, mode of tender and refusal, last payment date with receipt, and other relevant information as per Form C.
How are procedures generally handled before the Rent Controller/Tribunal?
Where the Act and Rules are silent, proceedings are guided by the Code of Civil Procedure; notices may be served personally or by registered post with acknowledgment, and specific forms are prescribed by the 1959 Rules.
Is there an affidavit template suitable for rent control filings?
Yes, affidavits tailored for rent control matters include case captions and prayer formats used to support interim applications, document filing, or other rent controller reliefs.
What typical suits are provided for rent disputes?

What timelines and limitation issues affect arrears claims under rent control?
Claims must be legally recoverable to ground eviction; time-barred arrears are not enforceable and thus not ‘legally recoverable’ for non-payment eviction under Section 14(1)(a), per case law interpretations.
