When was the Rent Act passed in Bombay ? What was its aim ? What was the

impact ?

  • Rent Act was passed in 1918.
  • Since rents were quite high in chawls, the purpose of rent act was to stablize rent and to keep it reasonable. 
  • However, it did not have the expected impact as it led to housing crisis, since landlords withdrew houses from the markets.
