To verify a flat’s safety and legality in Mumbai, check the property’s ownership documents (like the registered sale deed) and ensure the landlord has the right to rent it out. You can also inquire with the local municipal corporation about any outstanding dues or legal issues related to the property.

My family and I own a property jointly, and we’ve been renting out half of it to a tenant for the past 40 years. He recently bought his own home and moved out six months ago. However, he’s now demanding 15 lakhs to vacate the property, which is a small 1BHK. It’s an old building, so we offered him 2 lakhs, but he refuses to negotiate. He has left some furniture and belongings inside, and the property is locked. If I take this to court, are there chances of getting possession back? What kind of evidence should I present to strengthen my case? While I prefer an amicable settlement, how can I convince him to accept a reasonable price?

I signed a rental agreement and paid a 12,000 rupee deposit. But I decided not to move in after finding some issues with the building. This was within a few days of signing. Now the landlord wants another 12,000 rupees or he’ll file a case. Is there any legal basis for his claim?

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.

I own a flat in Gaur City 1 and want to rent it out to bachelors. However, the Gaur management is preventing me from doing so. Can a builder or housing society legally stop me from renting my own property? What legal options do I have to challenge this restriction in court?

I’m an MCA, Assistant Professor in Tumkur, Karnataka, working at SIT College. Back in August 2014, my ex-wife (a government medical officer) and I jointly purchased a home for 30 lakhs, registering both of us as owners. We also took out a joint loan with equal EMIs (around 16,000 each, totaling 32,000 per month). We got divorced in August 2016. The court ruled in my favor, preventing her from seeking maintenance due to her government job and assets. Since then, her parents (who were officially recognized as tenants paying 8,000 rupees per month) have stopped paying rent. They’re using their influence to try and force me out of my own home, and shockingly, they stopped paying their share of the loan EMI after the divorce judgment. Attorneys have quoted a hefty court fee of 14.5%, which is about 2.5 lakhs, a sum I can’t afford. Could you please suggest a practical solution that I can manage?
