My landlord and I signed a one-year lease agreement in December 2013, with a minimum stay of three months. I gave a month’s notice via SMS and phone calls that I’ll be moving out next month. However, he hasn’t responded or answered my calls. The number is a mobile number, so I can’t track him down. The agreement is notarized but not registered. What should I do?

Since you have given a month’s notice, you are legally obligated to vacate the property next month. As the lease agreement is not registered, it is not legally binding, but your notice period is still valid. You should attempt to document your notice by sending a registered letter to the landlord’s known address.

I’m looking for legal advice on how to get my tenant to vacate my flat in Jaipur’s Civil Lines area. He’s been living there for the past four years, hasn’t renewed his lease, isn’t maintaining the property properly, and hasn’t been paying rent on time or in full. I need to sell this flat to pay off my HDFC home loan and buy a new property in Gurgaon. What are my legal options?

I’ve been living with my family in Mumbai for 25 years, in my brother’s rented property under the “pagdi” system. While I don’t pay him directly, I cover the rent and electricity bills. My brother has been living in his own flat for 12 years. Unfortunately, there have been constant arguments and disagreements with family members, leading to my brother issuing a notice yesterday, demanding I vacate the property in 60 days. I have nowhere else to go. The rent receipts are in my brother’s name but I have them. What legal options do I have to prevent eviction? Could easement laws help? I want to ensure that the landlord doesn’t benefit from this situation.

My friend is living in my house but hasn’t been able to pay rent on time. We didn’t have a formal agreement. How can I get them to move out?

My tenant, a partnership of 3 friends, rented my commercial property in May 2015. One partner didn’t contribute any money. After 6 months, one partner told me the non-investor couldn’t handle losses and wasn’t participating. Another partner wanted to transfer his share to his mother. I signed a new partnership agreement with the remaining two (one original partner and the mother). The non-investor didn’t respond to calls or sign the new agreement. Now, after 18 months, he’s sent a notice claiming I shouldn’t have signed the new agreement without his resignation. What should I do?

My uncle and his cousin lived together for 30 years. My uncle made a will leaving the property to his cousin. He passed away in 1996, and in 1999, the rest of the family moved out, leaving the property to my uncle’s cousin. He started paying rent by cheque, promising to change the rent receipt to his own name but delaying. He’s been doing this for 15 years, but the receipts still haven’t changed. Now he’s been served with an eviction notice claiming subletting. What can we do?
