Dear Client,
You should not rely only on oral assurance like “lifetime tenancy.” If you are paying ₹7.5 lakh as salami/premium, then the agreement should clearly mention the tenancy period, rights of renewal, eviction conditions, refund terms, and possession rights. A vague agreement without fixed terms can create serious disputes later.
If the agreement is for a long term such as 99 years, registration is strongly advisable and in many cases legally compulsory. An unregistered long term l

Dear Sir,

The landlord is expected to respect your privacy and cannot make repeated unannounced visits or pressure you. If this behavior continues, you can formally object in writing and, if needed, approach the police for protection against harassment.

Regarding rent payment, a landlord cannot force you to pay only in cash. You are entitled to pay through traceable modes such as bank transfer, UPI, or cheque. In fact, it is safer for you to avoid cash payments unless a proper receipt is issue

Dear Sir,

The fact that the RTC (Record of Rights) continued in the original grantee’s name from 1960 to 1998 suggests that the mutation based on the sale deed was either not effected or not recognized by revenue authorities. This weakens the purchaser’s claim. In Karnataka, revenue entries are not conclusive title, but they are strong supporting evidence. Long continuation in the grant holder’s name indicates that the Government may still treat the land as granted land.

Dear Client,
Yes, as a tenant you have the right to ask for a copy of the rent/leave and license agreement and also request details or proof of expenses if the cost is to be shared, since transparency in such charges is expected. Delay of 5 months in providing the agreement is not proper, and you should insist in writing for execution and a signed copy, along with clarification of costs before making any payment.

It is advisable to consult a local lawyer for proper guidance and to safeguard you

Dear Client,

If the land was gifted to you by your grandfather and the ownership stands recorded in your name in the revenue records, you may still have legal remedies to seek possession from the persons cultivating the land (muzaras/tenants). However, in states like Himachal Pradesh, tenancy and land reform laws have granted certain protections to tenants, and in some situations tenants may acquire occupancy or proprietary rights depending on the circumstances and the applicable law. Therefore

Dear Client,

Since the workshop has been running since 1967 and the rent receipts were issued in your father’s name, the tenancy is an old and protected commercial tenancy, and upon your father’s death in 2023 you may claim succession as a legal heir if you were carrying on the business from the same premises

Under the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997, heirs using the premises for business may claim limited protection, and the landlord’s refusal to issue rent receipts in your nam

Dear Client,

Yes, the plaintiff should file the application under Section 7(3) of the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997 seeking both reliefs—(i) eviction and recovery of khas possession and (ii) realisation of arrear rent with costs of the suit.

Since the defendant failed to file petitions under Sections 7(1) and 7(2) within the mandatory time and did not deposit arrears of rent, the consequence under Section 7(3) is striking out of the defence against delivery of possession and entit

Dear Client,
The Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, governs the relationship between a landlord and tenant in Kerala. Tenants can only be evicted by a court order for specific reasons, such as non-payment of rent or the landlord's genuine need to get vacant possession of the rented property. A dispute between a Tenant and Landlord is resolved under the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1965, under which a Rent Controller or Addl/Dy. Rent Controller is appointed to
