My two shops have been rented out for years. One, since 1980, with a security deposit of ₹10,000. The other, in 1987, when my children were still young. I needed the extra income back then. Now, my children are grown and want to start their own businesses, but the tenants refuse to leave. I’m running a business from one shop and have a small one rented out as well. My wife also operates a studio in the basement. What can I do to get my shops back?

You have the right to regain possession of your shops, but it’s a legal process. You can approach the court to initiate eviction proceedings. However, the tenants may have rights based on the length of tenancy and any existing agreements, so a lawyer can advise you on the best course of action.

My family has been renting out a portion of our ground floor since the 1950s for a very low rent of just ₹200 per month. The current market value for this space is closer to ₹10,000 per month. How can I raise the rent to a fair level? To make matters worse, the tenant has been using another part of the property without our permission, claiming an understanding with a previous tenant. What legal options do I have in this situation?

How much stamp paper do I need to buy for a rental agreement in Hyderabad for a flat that costs Rs. 16,000 per month?

I came back to my rented flat after two days, only to find the electricity connection cut off due to unpaid bills. My landlord had informed me about the disconnection, but I was facing financial difficulties and couldn’t pay at the time. I’ve also missed rent payments a few times due to these challenges, but I’ve been diligently catching up, paying a significant amount of ₹45,000 over the past two months. However, locking me out without any warning or communication, leaving behind my valuables, important documents, and essential medications, seems unfair and unethical. Is this legally permissible? Can I legally break the lock to regain access to my flat, considering I have the keys? What legal options do I have to challenge this situation, and can I seek compensation? I lost out on two crucial business opportunities because I couldn’t access my documents. Despite pleading my case and highlighting my recent efforts to be financially responsible, this ordeal lasted for a week. I have now settled the electricity bill. Please advise on the next steps.

My landlord doesn’t give me a rent receipt. He only accepts cash. Now I have no proof of my rent payments. Could this cause problems? I signed a lease agreement on e-stamp for 10 months with a 5-month lock-in period. It says: “If the tenant leaves the premises within the 5-month lock-in period, they must pay 5 months’ rent to the landlord.” What does this mean? Is it an additional 5 months’ rent, or just 5 months’ rent in total? What happens if I have to leave the flat before the 5-month lock-in period is over?

I’m planning to rent out my house in Chennai. A potential tenant says they’re from Darjeeling. I’m a little hesitant as they’re from another state. What crucial questions should I ask them, and what are the key things to include in the rental agreement to ensure a smooth process and avoid any legal complications?

Next Article My family has lived in Punjab for over 50 years, and we belong to the OBC category. We’ve never claimed any caste benefits before, but now I’m looking to get an OBC certificate.
