BJP MLA Raj Purohit claimed that CM Devendra Fadanvis assured him that he will meet all the stakeholders related to the Rent Control Act 1999 tentatively by January 28. Purohit said this at a meeting of 600 tenants at Marine Drive’s Garware Club last morning.

The tenants present at this meeting passed two resolutions — there should be no amendment in the Act and since tenants claim that they had paid huge amounts to their landlords while renting the spaces and have been regularly paying the rent, they should be made owners of the apartments they are staying in.
