We moved into our rented apartment two months ago, but our agreement went missing, delaying the submission process. Now, the society secretary is making things difficult due to past disagreements. He even sent a legal notice to everyone in the building accusing us of illegal activities and disturbing our neighbors. The secretary has pressured our landlord to ask us to leave, and we’ve received a notice to vacate within 15 days. What legal options do we have to address this situation?

You can approach the Rent Controller for redressal. You can file a case against the society secretary for harassment and malicious prosecution, as his accusations are baseless. You can also seek legal protection to prevent eviction if the landlord’s notice is illegal or unreasonable.

I’m planning to move back into my rented apartment in Delhi. I’ve been renting for 10 months, and the agreement allows either party to end the lease with a month’s notice. My family needs the apartment, so I want to know how long it typically takes for courts in Delhi to resolve eviction cases like mine? I have a straightforward case.

I’m trying to update the name on my Tata Power electricity bill after my father passed away. We rent the house on a “pagdi” basis. When I visited the Tata Power office, they asked for a lot of documents, including my father’s death certificate, my own ID for verification, and even an NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the landlord. The landlord has been saying he’s out of Mumbai for the past three weeks and to call back later. Is there another way I can get the name changed on the bill?

My father, bless his soul, gave our ancestral home to a young lady on rent, trusting her good nature. He passed away in 2013, and now, after over a year of politely asking, she’s refusing to vacate the property. We have all the necessary documents to prove our ownership. How long will it take to get this matter resolved in court?

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 family and I used to live in a beautiful three-storey home, but sadly, heavy rains caused it to become unsafe. We’ve been forced to stay in a rented place while the house is declared unsafe, but our tenant refuses to leave. He’s known for causing trouble and has several cases against him. We want to rebuild our home, but he’s not leaving and hasn’t paid rent in years. The lease was signed with his parents, who have unfortunately passed away. What are our options? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Next Article I recently visited my LIC Housing Finance branch to prepay my home loan, and handed a cheque from my in-laws. The officer refused to give me an acknowledgement for the cheque. When I went to the head office four days later, they refused to accept the cheque because it was from a third party. Had I been informed about this at the branch, I could have avoided losing a week’s worth of interest. The officer tried contacting the number on the cheque, but a child answered and gave him his father’s (my brother-in-law) number. Instead of contacting him, shouldn’t the banker have reached out to the actual account holder?
