A Delhi High Court order instructed a tenant to pay current market rent to their landlord, based on the legal precedent set by the Atma Ram Properties vs. Federal Motors case. The court also ordered the tenant to clear all outstanding dues within three weeks. However, the tenant hasn’t complied with the order, and the three-week deadline has passed without any payment. What steps should the landlord take in this situation? Are there any relevant court decisions on non-payment of arrears and user charges, and how can the landlord enforce the court’s order?

The landlord can file an execution petition in the Delhi High Court to enforce the court’s order. This petition seeks to compel the tenant to comply with the order, including paying the current market rent and outstanding dues. The court can then issue further orders, including attachment of the tenant’s assets or even eviction, to ensure compliance. Relevant court decisions like the Atma Ram Properties vs. Federal Motors case support the landlord’s right to seek enforcement of the order.

My family and I are renting a flat in a building where the landlord allows everyone else to use the common terrace for activities like celebrating festivals with fireworks, yoga sessions, and parties. However, we are not even allowed to stand on the terrace, even though our flat is on the top floor. Is the landlord within his rights to restrict us from using the common terrace?

Imagine this: A family in Uttar Pradesh has been leasing a plot of land for 15 years. The lease agreement, a registered document, states a symbolic rent of just one rupee per year. However, no rent has been paid for all these years. The agreement also states the landowner can reclaim the land if rent isn’t paid. Now, the owner wants to reclaim their land. What’s the minimum notice period they need to give the tenant before demanding possession? Is it 15 days, a month, or six months? Also, if the owner goes to court to evict the tenant, how much will the court fees be? Will it be based on the agreed rent of one rupee, or on the actual value of the land?

My landlord filed an eviction case in 2014, claiming he needs the shop for his daughter-in-law. We’re now at the evidence stage. How can I legally delay this eviction process?

My father is facing a legal issue regarding a shop that belonged to our grandfather. The tenant, instead of returning it to my father, handed it over to his grandson, who then gave it to my aunt. My uncle, who was managing the shop and receiving rent, unfortunately passed away over a decade ago. He left a will naming my father as the beneficiary, which is being verified in court. My aunt has been attempting to take physical possession of the shop illegally, forging receipts and illegally installing utilities. The shop is currently closed and under a court order. Can a tenant legally transfer the shop directly to his grandson? Also, can my aunt, who is financially independent and receives a government pension, interfere with this property? Her son is involved in these matters, potentially aiming to acquire the shop.

We sent a legal notice to both our tenants in Agra. One tenant refused to accept it, while the other, who was involved in a civil case with us, passed away. Can we continue the case with the deceased tenant’s family? Do we need to serve new notices to both the first tenant and the deceased’s relatives?
