✅ Short Answer:
NO! A landlord cannot arbitrarily increase the rent without following legal procedure and terms of the rental agreement. Under most Indian state tenancy laws and the Model Tenancy Act, 2021:
🔹 Minimum one-month written notice is required
🔹 Increase must be as per the rent agreement or mutual consent
🔹 For long-term leases, periodic increase clauses apply

📌 When It’s Legal to Increase Rent:
✔️ After expiry of the rental agreement
✔️ If clause for periodic rent revision exists
✔️ With mutual consent (yes, negotiation is still alive!)
✔️ With written communication, not a surprise phone call! 😤☎️

🚫 Illegal If:

❌ Rent is increased overnight without any notice
❌ Landlord uses threats or forces eviction

Lawyer: “Well, at least the cat won’t argue about the plumbing. 🐱🚿”
