My grandfather rented out our property 20 years ago without a formal agreement. We’ve been receiving rent and issuing receipts all this time. Now, the tenant has filed false cases, trying to force us to sell the property for a low price. This property holds great sentimental value for me, as my mother was deeply attached to it. I need a trustworthy legal expert to guide me on how to handle this difficult situation.

Under Indian law, a tenancy can be established by long-standing practice and receipt of rent, even without a formal agreement. You need legal counsel to counter the false cases and potentially seek a court order to establish the tenancy and protect your family’s property rights. A lawyer experienced in property law and tenancy disputes can help navigate the legal process and safeguard your interests.
