Starving landlord family due to non payment of rent by tenant. Starving landlord family due to non payment of rent by tenant.

4 years ago

My father is 87 years old and he is staying with his wife, son, daughter in law and a grand daughter in his own house. The main income of this 5 members family comes from the rent of the accommodation. Four tenants stopped paying the rent with this plea that they are paying the rent to the Rent control office as my father told them to increase the rent and as a result it becomes difficult for my father to survive.
Under these circumstances kindly advise how my father will come out from this imbroglio?
Regards
Kakali Dey

Ans. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 envisages providing need based maintenance to the parents/grand parents from their children. Tribunals will be set up for the purpose of settling the maintenance claims of the parents in a time bound manner. Lawyers are barred from participating in the proceedings of the Tribunals at any stage.
