Rental, affordable housing get a boost in Budget 2019

Live Mint  

The government will introduce a new model tenancy law to boost the fragmented rental housing market and has proposed further tax incentives in line with its continued effort to achieve the ‘Housing for All’ target by 2022, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her maiden Union Budget speech. “Current rental laws are archaic and do not address the relationship between the lessor and the lessee realistically and fairly,” Sitharaman said, adding that the new tenancy model would be finalised and circulated soon. “The new model tenancy, which is likely to be re-introduced, is expected to balance the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants that will make the rental market more efficient and streamlined across the country,” said Megha Maan, senior associate director, research, at Colliers International India. This can help attract first-time homebuyers, besides stimulating demand for low-cost housing, said Anuj Puri, chairman, Anarock Property Consultants Ltd. “Laying down a roadmap for Rental Housing is a step in the right direction to align with global trends of co-living spaces, given the changing demographics in the country.
