My family has been renting out our property for the past 35 years. Our tenant recently bought his own home and moved out, leaving our property locked. Now, he’s asking for a hefty sum, almost half the property’s value, to vacate. We’re open to a settlement, but his demand is unreasonable. Is there a legal way to regain possession of our property without paying him such an exorbitant amount? I need guidance on the legal procedures to navigate this situation.

Under Indian law, the tenant’s demand is likely unreasonable, as there’s no legal basis for payment beyond the agreed rent and any lawful deposit. You can file a formal eviction notice and pursue legal proceedings in court to regain possession. Consult with a lawyer to understand the specific legal procedures and options available in your situation.

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.

I moved into a 6th-floor flat in a 7-storey building, arranged through an agent. The owner assured me a leaky toilet was fixed, but it persisted. He brought a contractor, who said fixing it would take 30 days. The owner then went to the 7th-floor owner, who refused access for repairs. The owner never mentioned the leakage before I paid rent, making it feel like a deliberate omission. What are my options now?

We rented an office space in Bangalore for 10 months. The agreement ended, and we informed the landlord we wouldn’t renew. Now, he’s demanding two months’ extra rent, saying we needed to give a two-month notice. Is this justified, even though we’re leaving after the agreement expired?

My father, bless his soul, gave our ancestral home to a young lady on rent, trusting her good nature. He passed away in 2013, and now, after over a year of politely asking, she’s refusing to vacate the property. We have all the necessary documents to prove our ownership. How long will it take to get this matter resolved in court?

My tenant, let’s call him Ravi, signed a 3-year lease agreement in his own name. He’s been paying rent through personal checks for the past 10 months. Now, he’s asking if I can accept checks from his company instead. Is there any problem with accepting rent from his company, considering it might be a company lease?
