How to claim occupancy
2 years ago
I've been staying at an rented apartment in Punefor 15 years and the first, 11 months rental agreement executed in 2006 was never renewed or re-registered.
The landlord lady passed away an year back and since she wasn't visiting her bank often, I used to pay the rent by cash, by hand.
Her son staying in some other city, suddenly started asking us the proofs of rent paid as well as threatening to settle with some good amount and vacant the space.
Now, all of the neighborhood, friends, shopkeepers, maid, other flat owners can state about our occupancy but I DONT have any proof other than these witnesses or Passport, Aadhar, License, Voter Id card or such KYC docs.
I would appreciate, if I get suggestions on How to prove my residence or challenge him if any legal action taken.
Ready to get professional paid consultation depending upon the suggestions and feasibilities
Thank you
Since you have been staying there for more than 12 years, you can use the defense of adverse possession. Adverse possession may be a term that’s utilized in our legal system when someone acquires ownership of movable or immovable property by continuous use of it. Please contact a lawyer for further advice.
