Landlord changes notice period in renewed rent agreement: Tenant's catch
A Bengaluru tenant recently discovered their landlord quietly changed the notice period in their renewed rent agreement—from one month to two—without notifying the tenant in advance.
The landlord denied making changes over WhatsApp, but the tenant spotted the switch by carefully comparing both versions.
Tenant calls out landlord, says they'll move out
The tenant, who's lived there since 2022 and always paid on time, immediately called out the landlord and said they'd be moving out by March-end.
They also objected to the unilateral change.
