My family rented out our property in Delhi, but the tenant’s cheques, including the security deposit, bounced. They promised to pay soon, but it’s been 5 months with no payment or move out. We have a signed agreement on stamp paper, but it’s not registered. What can we do to get our property back and recover our money?

You can file a legal case against the tenant in a Delhi court for eviction and recovery of rent and security deposit. Since you have a signed agreement on stamp paper, it serves as evidence of the tenancy. You can also approach the Rent Control Board in Delhi for assistance in resolving the dispute.

Respected Sir, I’m planning to draft a rent agreement for 12 years. I’ve heard that a notarized agreement can’t be longer than 11 months. To make it legally binding, I need a registered agreement. However, I’m concerned about the hefty stamp duty charges, either on the property value or monthly rent. It’s a significant cost that I’m not prepared to bear. I’m investing heavily in interior work on this property. Could you please advise me on a legal way to secure my investment without incurring huge stamp duties? I need a legally sound document to avoid any future issues with the landlord. I eagerly await your positive advice. Thank you.

My tenant, a man and his family, hasn’t been paying rent or the full deposit as agreed. Now, he refuses to move out even after we asked him to. We should’ve had a written contract, but he didn’t pay the full deposit yet. Will the police help if I report this?
