Where a landlord refuses to accept,
or evades the receipt of, any rent lawfully payable to him by a tenant in
respect of any building, the tenant may, by notice in writing, require the
landlord to specify within ten days from the date of receipt of the notice by
him, a bank situated in the city, town or village in which the building is
situated or if there is no such bank in such city, town or village, within five
kilometers of the limits thereof into which the rent may be deposited by the
tenant to the credit of the Landlord.
It shall be open to the landlord to specify from time to
time by a written notice to the tenant and subject to the proviso aforesaid, a
bank different from the one already specified by him under this sub-section.
If the landlord specifies a bank as aforesaid, the tenant
shall deposit the rent in the bank and shall continue to deposit in it any rent
which may subsequently become due in respect of the building.
If the landlord does not specify a bank as aforesaid, the tenant
shall remit the rent to the landlord by Money Order, after deducting the money
order commission.
If the landlord refuses to receive the rent remitted by
Money Order, the tenant may deposit the rent before the Rent Controller and
continue to deposit with him any rent which may subsequently become due in
respect of the building.
