House Owner is pressurizing me to vacate flat


A. Dear Client,

If there is no rent control act in your state, it becomes relatively easier for the tenant to protect their stay. The tenant can file a suit for a permanent injunction against the landlord, seeking a directive not to evict the tenant without following the due course of legal procedures. This entails the landlord issuing an eviction notice and subsequently filing a suit for eviction. The entire process, from eviction notice to final disposal, may take a minimum period of three year ...ReadMore

It is important to note that these stamp papers should be purchased in the name of either party involved in the rental agreement, whether it be the landlord or the tenant. This ensures the ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

A tenant typically cannot claim ownership of the property from the landlord as the relationship between them is primarily governed by the terms outlined in the rent agreement. Any additional conditions imposed by the landlord, especially those that may seem to alter the ownership status, would generally be considered invalid and void.

Conditions in an agreement that compel a tenant to vacate the premises upon payment of a lump sum by the landlord, especially if such conditions go ...ReadMore
