My daughter lives on the second floor of our DDA flat. She wants to do some renovations inside her flat and has even hired professional help. But our neighbor on the ground floor, who works in DDA, is making things difficult. He’s filed a complaint with DDA and our residential association. He even said through the association that he’ll allow the renovation only if we pay him Rs. 4 Lakhs! What should we do now?

Your neighbor’s actions are illegal and constitute extortion. Report the incident to the police immediately. You can also file a complaint with the DDA and your residential association highlighting the extortion and seeking their intervention to resolve the situation.

My family has owned land in Survey Number 42 since 1936. Another family bought their portion in 1940. Back then, there were no separate sub-numbers for the land. In 1944, the other family went to the District Collector to get their part of the land officially recognized. The Collector then divided the entire survey into sub-numbers 1, 2, and 3, but they mistakenly ignored our family’s ownership. We can’t claim our land now. Can we challenge this decision now that I learned about it through an RTI application?

I’m a real estate agent in Hyderabad. A client from Bangkok wanted me to find a rental flat for her mother. Her mother visited the property and liked it. After discussing with her mother, my client contacted me and we started negotiating. I agreed to a 50% brokerage on the rental value. I have all our WhatsApp messages.

My father, elder brother, and I owned some family land. A few months ago, my brother promised to pay my father and me a certain sum for our share, in exchange for transferring the property to him. We did this, but now he’s refusing to pay. Without this money, my father will be homeless, as my brother won’t let him live in his house. We didn’t have any written agreement about this arrangement.

My father passed away in 2010, leaving behind two pieces of land and an ancestral house. My mother and sister are the other legal heirs. We have updated the ownership records for the 9-acre non-agricultural land in our names. The 10-acre agricultural land was jointly owned by my father and mother, and now my sister and I have inherited his share. However, my sister is demanding half of the ancestral house, which is still in my grandfather’s name. He passed away in 2009 and left a will giving my father a 25% share. My sister already holds 33% of the house, but now she wants 50% by claiming half of my mother’s share. My mother is alive and well. We want to file a partition suit. What steps should we take to resolve this situation?
