A.Dear Client,
The Pagdi system is a legalized form of tenancy under the provisions of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999. Section 7 (15) (d) of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, clarifies the rights of legal heirs in pagdi system and states that: 1) A tenant’s family member who has been living with the dead tenant at the time of his/her death shall be eligible first from the family as the successor to succeed the tenancy. 2) Upon the demise of a current page tenant, the tenancy rights can only be transferred to that legal heir(s). 3) The new tenant (legal heir) can request the landlord to issue a fresh rent receipt in the heir(s) name(s). Once the Pagdi amount is paid, the tenant becomes the owner of the property and has the right to live in it. The landlord cannot evict the tenant or repossess the property, as long as the tenant continues to pay the monthly rent. According to Section 56 of the Rent Control Act, 1999, this consideration paid to the landlord as a fine, premium, or consideration (Pagdi) was legalized. The act provides authorization for a tenant to receive any amount in consideration to relinquish or transfer of his/her tenancy rights. The Pagdi system provides tenants with the security of tenure, allowing them to occupy the property indefinitely. The residual legal heirs of the original Tenants are entitled to have the Tenancy transferred in their names. The Rent receipts of landlords issued to tenants are sufficient proof that you are tenants and legal heirs as per the Maharashtra Rent Control Act.
