"Those buildings of which three times repair work have already been carried out the ownership will go the tenants. If landlord fails to undertake redevelopment tenants will have the rights.
Also to expedite the redevelopment projects a tri-party agreement that is between the landlord, tenants and government will be signed. This will ensure that the projects are completed within set time frame," said Purohit.:
