A STUDY OF PROBLEM FACED BY TENANTS DURING REDEVELOPMENT AND THEIR SATISFACTION FROM REDEVELOPMENT

In the last few decades, migration from small villages and towns all over India, to metropolitan areas like Mumbai has increased tremendously. This problem of increasing migration in metropolitan cities has become a major concern due to the rise in the numbers of slums which lack basic amenities. In many parts of Mumbai, slums are being demolished and high rise buildings are being constructed, which is called as slum rehabilitation. Under this scheme tenants are temporarily shifted to houses on rent and buildings are constructed on the land where these slums had been located. They are given new flats to stay in those buildings after few years say 5-6 years. But it has been observed that many tenants are facing problems during rehabilitation from the builder like delayed payment or non-payment of rent, delay in construction work due to nonfulfilment of legal formalities on the part of the builder and personal problems like relocation every year, change of school of children, adjustment in a new place etc. This paper highlights the various problems faced by tenants in slum rehabilitation scheme in Mumbai western suburban region through structured questionnaire getting filled from 30 tenants from Borivali to Andheri area of Mumbai suburban.
