We are four bachelors living in a society. We are living in a flat. The lease agreement is only singed by one of our flat mates. Other three (including me) are not signed in the rent agreement. The lessee as well as other two (not included in the agreement) threaten me to kick out of the flat. What should I do?
Please note that I always pay rent and all the expenses on time and have done no damage to any of the property.
A.Dear Client,
To stay in leasehold accommodation, all the lessees are required to execute a lease agreement with the Lessor. So, you not being a party to said lease agreement are not entitled to stay in the leasehold place. So, all the lessees including you required to sign the said lease agreement. So, you may ask your roommate to get the signatures of the other two mates to sign the lease agreement along with you otherwise it may be treated as discrimination. In such a situation you may serve a legal notice to the Lessor for cancellation of the lease agreement in the absence of the signature of all the lessee to resolve the issue.

A.Dear client,
Review the Lease Agreement: Examine the lease agreement to understand its terms and conditions. Check if it includes any provisions related to subletting or having additional occupants in the flat.
Speak to the Lessee: Have an open and honest conversation with the lessee about your concerns and ask for clarification regarding your tenancy. If you have been living in the flat with their knowledge and permission, they may have a legal obligation to honor your tenancy rights.
Consult a Legal Advisor: Seek advice from a legal professional or tenant's rights organization to understand your rights and options as an occupant of the flat. They can help you interpret the lease agreement and local tenancy laws.
Document Your Tenancy: Gather any evidence that proves you have been residing in the flat with the lessee's knowledge and consent. This could include rent receipts, utility bills, or any other documentation showing your tenancy.
Negotiate with Roommates: Try to have a discussion with your flatmates about the situation and attempt to find a resolution that is acceptable to all parties involved.
Seek Mediation: If conflicts persist, consider involving a mediator to help facilitate communication and find a mutually agreeable solution.
Know Your Local Laws: Familiarize yourself with the tenancy laws in your area, as they may offer protection to tenants, even if they are not named on the lease agreement.
Consider Relocating: If all else fails and your tenancy rights are not protected under the law, you may need to consider finding alternative housing.
