You have legal rights as a tenant, even though your father is deceased. The owner’s daughter cannot simply evict you without following proper legal procedures. You should seek legal advice immediately to understand your options and protect your rights.

Why do many people in India rent homes for 10 months instead of a full year?

Our family has been renting out a shop on the ground floor of our building for decades. The rent was fixed by our ancestors and hasn’t been updated in all these years. Now, the tenant has bought two more shops, while our family of three is facing unemployment. Despite their comfortable income, they refuse to vacate the shop. Even though we’ve tried increasing the rent minimally, it doesn’t help. The tenant is demanding a hefty sum for vacating the shop. We’re struggling to make ends meet due to our unemployment. How can we get justice, especially when the government promotes self-employment? We’re at a loss and need guidance on how to handle this situation fairly.

My landlord and I signed a rent agreement on a ₹100 stamp paper, which was notarized and filed with the police station and our society. The agreement clearly states a 24-month lease period from December 2014 to December 2016, and I’ve already given him 24 rent cheques. It also has a lock-in period of 24 months, with early termination allowed only by mutual consent within those first two years. He’s now asking me to vacate by May 1st due to a family issue. I’ve explained my reasons for needing to stay until December 2016, but he’s insistent. What should I do?

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.

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?
