I’m a senior citizen, 75 years old, and I’ve been running my shop for years. Now, due to my age, I’m finding it difficult to manage it. I want to sell the shop, but my landlord is insisting I hand it back to him and accept whatever compensation he offers. However, other potential buyers are willing to pay a much better price. What should I do? I need some guidance on this situation.

As a senior citizen with a long-standing lease, you have legal rights. Your landlord cannot unilaterally force you to relinquish the shop and accept their offer. You can negotiate with them or explore legal avenues to protect your interests. Seeking legal advice from a lawyer specializing in property law is strongly recommended to understand your rights and options.

My parents and I have called this place home for the past 22 years. Sadly, both my father, who signed the lease agreement, and the owner have passed away. Now, the owner’s daughter is demanding we vacate the property, threatening to falsely accuse me of a serious crime if I refuse. My 75-year-old mother, who is wheelchair-bound, and I are in a desperate situation.

A tenant in my shop has only given 2 weeks’ notice before leaving, instead of the agreed 1 month. They also haven’t paid their last month’s rent/electricity bill. They’ve handed over the keys, but I’m left with unpaid bills. I’ve asked them to sign a letter acknowledging this, but they refuse and demand their full deposit back, even after deducting only 2 weeks’ worth of costs. Should I hold onto their deposit until they sign, or pay them what I think is fair and risk being sued? How easy is it for them to win a legal case in this situation?

My property was declared tenanted by the Small Causes Court in 1997. The initial agreement was for 5 years with a rent of Rs. 1200. The agreement expired in 2002, and since then, I haven’t received any rent. I didn’t issue any notice. I filed an eviction suit in November 2012 based on my own requirement and the tenant’s subletting and profiteering. I’d like to know what rent or compensation I’m entitled to for the period between January 2003 and September 2012. What is the legal process involved?

My landlord is claiming I owe him money for an old electricity bill, even though I got a refund during my tenancy. He told me not to worry about it when I noticed the bill issue three months ago. Now, he says he lost a court case and I’m responsible for the payment. Should I pay? If so, why?

I’ve been living in a rented flat in Mumbai since November 2014, with my agreement expiring on August 31st. We were four tenants, each paying a security deposit of ₹15,000. Everyone paid online except me, as I didn’t have internet banking then. We vacated the flat in August 2015, but the landlord is refusing to return my security deposit, claiming I lack proof of payment. The agreement clearly mentions my cash payment, signed by her. I’ve been hoping she’d reconsider, but she’s adamant. What legal options do I have to get my deposit back?

Previous Article I’ve been trying to find a bank job for the past year, but I’m facing a tough hurdle. Most government banks and private companies now require a 60% score in my degree, even government organizations are asking for the same. This makes it incredibly hard for someone like me, from the general category, to find opportunities. Without fee exemptions, is there anything I can legally do about this minimum percentage requirement? I know it’s my fault for not scoring higher, but it feels like the government is also closing doors on us.
Next Article My husband left me after four months of marriage, demanding more dowry and harassing us with his family. I pleaded with him, but he refused to take me back. After another four months, he called, but I insisted on his promise to never harm me again before I would return. He agreed but delayed, eventually filing for judicial separation and an injunction, alleging false accusations like wanting him to live with us and assaulting him and his mother. I have proof of their dowry demands and harassment. Can I file for a dowry case and divorce, and will I be entitled to alimony considering my distance MBA?
