In India, a landlord can only terminate a lease agreement before its expiry if it’s a monthly tenancy. If you have a 3-year lease agreement, the owner can’t legally ask you to vacate after just one year without a valid legal reason as outlined in the agreement.

Thinking of renting a flat in Mumbai? It’s important to make sure the place is safe and legally sound. How can I verify this?

My husband and I have been estranged since 2009 and he hasn’t been in touch. We live in our family home in Mumbai, but he owns it. We also own another flat. I’m in the process of transferring our house into my name since I pay the bills and take care of maintenance. However, my society says I can’t rent out the other flat because I’m not the owner. Is this true? Can I legally rent out our other flat even though I’m still his wife?

I rented a 2-bedroom flat, but the doors and windows had some damage when I first saw it. I told the landlord about it, and he said he’d fix it. Now, it’s been four months, and it seems he’s not going to fix the damage. He keeps saying he will, but I doubt he will. I’ve had to spend my own money on repairs. Is there anything I can do? Can I involve a lawyer?

My grandmother rented out a room for around Rs 20 years ago. The tenant is now refusing to leave, claiming it’s his. My father is homeless and we desperately need this property. What can we do?

My landlord, back in 2013, signed an agreement for a 10% yearly rent increase. But now, without any discussion, he’s sent a lawyer’s notice demanding a new rent of Rs.10,500 for my 150 sq. ft. first-floor space. This was previously Rs. 3,690. My electrical switchboard cutting business has been severely impacted, operating at only 25% capacity due to the real estate slowdown.

Previous Article I joined DAV Public School, Kirandul in August 2002 as a Primary Teacher. I have an M.Sc. in Bio-Science and a B.Ed. degree. For several years, I taught Class 12 Biology even though there were many experienced and senior science teachers. However, no one else stepped up to teach this crucial subject. While I was happy to help during this time, I was unexpectedly shifted to classes 9 and 10 last year without any clear explanation. I feel this decision might be unfair. Can I take legal action against the school principal?
Next Article My son lives separately, but my daughter-in-law refuses to join him. She’s been causing us mental and physical distress, demanding money and property. She even physically assaulted my wife in 2014, resulting in a fracture, leading to a police case filed against her. Due to the threats, my wife and I have been living separately in rented accommodation since 2014. She’s taken over the entire flat, which I bought in Faridabad (Haryana) in 2008. I hold a special power of attorney for the flat issued in Jalandhar, Punjab. Can I file an eviction case against my daughter-in-law using this power of attorney, or do I need to register the flat in my name first?
