I’ve been living in my rented room in Pune for 70 years, but the owner filed a case to get it back. Now, he’s passed away, his family hasn’t shown up in court, and the case was dismissed. I’ve been paying my rent into the court during the case. But now, the court won’t let me deposit it, and the landlord’s family isn’t accepting it. I need to keep my rent payments up to date. What should I do?

You can file an application with the court to deposit the rent. The court may direct the family to accept the rent or allow you to deposit it with the court. This will ensure your rent payments remain up to date and prevent any potential issues arising from rent arrears.
