cAN I EVICT FAMILY MEMBER FROM MY PROPERT

My mother owns a property in varanasi which has got 9 rooms. she has given 5 rooms on rent without lease agreement. In one of the 5 rooms my mother's younger brother is staying with his family and we are not collecting any rent as they are financially not sound. Recently we thought of selling that property and now he is creating nuisance and threatening us not to sell the property and also when we asked him to vaccate he is simply refusing. Kindly advice us what to do in this regard.

You can serve him a notice terminating the tenancy with immediate effect. Hopefully the property is exclusively in the name of the mother. Lease agreements can be documented or oral also. Though you are not collecting any rent due to his financial constraints,it will not create any ownership right upon him. He can always be treated as a trespasser. You need to terminate the tenancy with immediate effect. You also need to check if the water and electricity meter is in his name or not.

Your uncle is not a tenant under the Rent Laws as prevalent in your state as there is no rent agreement or rent receipt issued. The occupier does not have a right, title or interest in the property. You as the owners of the property have to take a call in case you want to sell the property. This can be settled by talking to the occupier considering the fact that the occupier is your uncle who is not paying any rent. In case he still refuses to vacate the premises then please send him a legal notice to evict and thereafter file a suit for eviction.

From the facts furnished by you it is not clear whether your uncle is a tenant. You have to clarify whether your uncle paid rent to your mother at any time in the past and if that is so your mother can file an eviction petition on the ground of non-payment of rent. In case your uncle never paid any rent, a legal notice should be issued on behalf of the owner, i.e., your mother asking your uncle to handover the vacant possession of the property and, thereafter, a suit for eviction should be filed.

Delay in registering rental agreement

Hello, I have provided my commercial space to rental for a company to run their retail store. Company name is not highlighted to preserve professional discretion, but a very popular QSR brand in India. The property is under mortgage and hypothecated with bank. The store is operational for 3 months now. To register rental agreement, bank should provide NOC to register rental agreement. To provide NOC, bank is asking tenant to add a clause to the rental agreement stating that "Lessee would render their cooperation in case any recovery action is initiated by the Bank against the Borrower/Mortgagor in future including handing over the peaceful possession of the leased premises to the Bank, if demanded by the Bank. In such case, Lessee has no objection to deposit the rent directly with the Bank, if there is a written demand by the Bank to that effect and they shall not question the same". Lessee is not agreeing to add this in registration document. Now bank is not providing NOC and hence registration of rental agreement is pending. As per advise from a lawyer(he also acknowledged that bank's ask is valid one) I have sent a register post with delivery acknowledgement letter asking the company to agree and add the condition requested by bank in rental agreement for which they have not responded yet. Lessee over email confirms that they are not related with bank in any matter and I should work with bank to get NOC. They have invested for their business in the rented property and they respond as "Lessee will abide by whatever is as per law. Lessee will not be limited to act as per Law and lessee has all right to safeguard and protect their huge investment as per law." Now, I sit between 2 corporate companies standing in their own terms and I am helpless in the situation. Can anyone suggest how to go forward from here? What are the implications of delay in registering the rental agreement (for no fault of mine)? Is the demand from bank valid one? Is the hold by the lessee a valid one?

My grandfather, grandmother, and father have passed away. My mother is alive, and we are two brothers and one sister.

We are in the process of preparing the Pedhinama (legal heir certificate). Could you please clarify who should be included in the Pedhinama? This concerns my grandfather’s self-acquired property, and I would also like to know how the property should be legally distributed among the heirs.
