House Rent Provisions in Nepal: Rights, Duties, and Legal Procedures

House rent provisions in Nepal play a crucial role in maintaining fairness and stability within the growing urban housing market. Governed by the Muluki Civil Code, 2074 (2017), the law ensures both landlords and tenants understand their legal rights and obligations. These provisions regulate rental agreements, rent payment methods, duration of tenancy, advance payment, rent increment limits, maintenance responsibilities, and fair eviction procedures. Tenants are protected from arbitrary rent hikes and unjust evictions, while landlords can safeguard their property rights. Mandatory written agreements above NPR 20,000 rent ensure transparency, and local authorities assist in resolving disputes. Rules regarding safety standards, property conditions, subletting permissions, and early termination rights provide a clear legal framework for smooth landlord-tenant relationships. This article highlights Nepal’s comprehensive house rent legal framework, addressing common questions and ensuring both parties enjoy a peaceful, secure, and transparent tenancy experience in Nepal’s growing urban areas.
