Rent Agreed

Rent agreed, the words 'rent agreed' is used in s. 4(2)(b) of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rents and Eviction) Act, 1973. In a narrow sense rent is understood as the payment agreed to be made to the landlord by the tenant in consideration for the right to use the rented premises. By using the words 'rent agreed' the legislature intended to indicate that the word 'rent' must be construed in a wider sense to include, apart from the narrow connotation, any payment made for use of land where the quantum may have been fixed otherwise than by agreement, Ishwar Swaroop Sharma v.
