For recovery of premises under section 16(1)(g) of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, which group consists entirely of persons expressly excluded from the meaning of landlord?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Explanation to section 16(2) excludes rent-farmers, rent-collectors and estate-managers for the recovery ground in section 16(1)(g).
The special definition applies to that ground. The list does not separately exclude tenants, co-owners or owners letting in their own right.
Option feedback
Option A
Rent-farmers and estate-managers are listed. Being a tenant does not place a person in the list of express exclusions.
Option B
Rent-collectors and estate-managers are listed. The provision does not name co-owners as such.
Option C
Rent-farmers and rent-collectors are listed. The provision does not name an owner letting in their own right.
Option D
The Explanation expressly excludes each of these three roles for the own-occupation ground.
