Landlord–tenant disputes in India can be resolved online through ODR platforms using mediation, conciliation and, where legally permitted, arbitration, instead of going straight to rent control authorities or civil courts. Platforms such as CADRE and others already handle housing‑rental conflicts (non‑payment, deposit issues, damages, exit disputes) fully online with legally enforceable outcomes in suitable cases.

Legal scope and arbitrability

Basic landlord–tenant rights and eviction procedures continue to be governed by the Transfer of Property Act and state‑specific Rent Control/Model Tenancy laws. The Supreme Court has clarified that many landlord–tenant disputes are arbitrable where no special exclusive rent forum is mandated, allowing such matters to be referred to private arbitration instead of only courts.

How online resolution works

Commonly, the rental agreement contains a dispute resolution clause providing for mediation and/or arbitration, which can now be conducted online through ODR platforms. The typical flow is: online filing of dispute and documents, platform‑facilitated negotiation or mediation between landlord and tenant, and, if agreed and arbitrable, appointment of an arbitrator who issues a binding award enforceable under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.

Typical issues suited to ODR

ODR works especially well for:

Non‑payment or delayed payment of rent and maintenance.
Refund or forfeiture of security deposit, damage and repair disputes, unauthorized use, and early termination disagreements.

More complex statutory‑eviction matters under state rent control statutes may still need rent controllers or courts, but even there, online negotiation or mediation can help achieve settlements that are later filed before the competent authority.

Platforms and practical benefits

ODR providers such as CADRE and others have specific workflows for tenancy contracts, including automated notice generation, online case tracking, chat/video sessions and e‑settlement documentation. For both landlords and tenants, this reduces time and cost, avoids repeated physical appearances, and offers a more neutral, less confrontational environment that often preserves relationships and enables quick move‑out or payment plans.

If you indicate whether you are the landlord, the tenant, or building an ODR service, a tailored step‑by‑step strategy (including clause drafting and platform architecture) can be outlined.
