Mailanhikkal Kalathil Shahul Hameed vs Pandariveettil Vijayan — 15/2023

Case Summary: Rent Control Appeal No. 15/2023 The Kerala Rent Control Appellate Authority partly allowed the landlord's appeal, revising the fair rent of a commercial property in Taliparamba from Rs.800/month (fixed in 1993) to Rs.2,000/month. While acknowledging the property's commercially prominent location near the National Highway and noting inflation's impact on the original rent, the court rejected the landlord's claim for Rs.6,000/month due to the building's dilapidated condition and lack of basic amenities (parking, toilet facilities), instead relying on comparable rents of Rs.2,000-4,000 in the same complex.
