My flat is rented to two young men for a year. One of them is going abroad soon, just four months into the lease. He wants to replace himself with a colleague who’ll stay in the flat and follow the agreement. The lease is registered and the tenants were verified by the police. Should I add the new tenant’s name to the existing agreement and make him responsible?

You can add the new tenant’s name to the existing agreement, making him responsible for the remaining lease period. However, it’s crucial to ensure both the existing and new tenant agree to the changes and sign the amended agreement. This will ensure legal clarity and protect your interests.

We’re facing a tough situation. The tenants haven’t vacated the property despite the Supreme Court order, and they haven’t paid the rent arrears as per the court’s deadline of March 31st, 2016. They’ve also moved their belongings to the second floor, breaking the locks and causing trouble. We filed a trespass complaint against them, but they’ve applied to extend their stay in the first floor. The hearing is scheduled for March 25th, 2016 in the Supreme Court. What’s the best course of action we can take?

My father and mother jointly own a flat in Noida. Unfortunately, he suffered a brain stroke in July 2010, leaving him with significant mental and physical limitations, making it impossible for him to sign documents. A medical certificate from the CMO confirms his 50% mental disability. I, his only son, currently rent the flat to a single tenant through an unregistered agreement on a Rs 50 stamp paper. The agreement expires on June 30th. Can I, as the sole son, obtain a registered lease agreement with the tenant to secure our apartment in my father’s stead due to his medical condition? If yes, how can I proceed with this?

My father initiated a legal case in 2005 against a tenant to reclaim our family home for personal use. The tenant vacated one room, but the rest remained occupied. We won the initial case in the civil court, but the tenant appealed and won the second case after my parents passed away. I filed an appeal in the High Court in 2014, but the tenant continues to occupy the house despite not living there since 2013. We’ve been seeking relief for over a decade with no success. What can I do?

My father passed away last year, and I’ve been trying to get the tenant out of our house since then. I need to do some major renovations, but he keeps delaying his move. He promised to leave in December 2014, then again in 2015, and now he’s making another excuse. He’s also stopped paying rent and hasn’t returned his security deposit. What can I do?
