Yes, an owner can demand a penalty for delayed payment of monthly rent in a Pagdi system flat, but it depends on the terms and conditions specified in the rental agreement. The Pagdi system is governed by the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, which allows landlords to impose penalties for late rent payments if such provisions are included in the agreement.
If the rental agreement explicitly mentions a penalty for delayed rent payments, the tenant is legally obligated to pay the penalty. However, if there is no such clause in the agreement, the landlord cannot arbitrarily impose a penalty.
It's always advisable to carefully review the rental agreement and understand the terms and conditions before signing. If you face any issues or disputes, you can seek legal advice or approach the Rent Control Authority for resolution.
