    The document summarizes key sections of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act regarding standard rent. It discusses: 1) How courts may fix a standard rent if there is no evidence of rent on or before 1987 or if premises were let for nominal or non-monetary consideration. 2) Courts can determine rent disputes and the amount of permitted increases. 3) Tenants must deposit disputed rents with the court or pay the landlord or risk dismissal of their application. 4) Landlords have a duty to keep premises in good repair or tenants can make repairs and deduct expenses from rent within limits. 5) Rent cannot exceed the standard rent plus permitted increases unless a repealed act applies
