Which pair of provisions of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965 contains the registered-notice requirements that can apply before an eviction application?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The arrears notice gives the tenant 15 days from receipt or refusal to pay or tender rent, the specified interest and postal charges.
