Who will be legally Entitle for Redeveloped Apartment
2 weeks ago
I am staying at Pagadi basis chawl system. The Rent receipt is coming in my Mother's Name and electricity and water bill is coming in name of deceseased chawl owner. If building is re developed then who can claim the apartment. In My case my mother is expired and rent receipt is still in name of My Mother. Can my sister also ask to make co-owner? If i take money by giving the room will i have to part money to my sister?
A.Dear Client,
The Pagdi system, rooted in pre-independence rental laws, grants tenants certain ownership rights over rented properties, including the ability to sublet or even sell with the owner's consent. While efforts are underway to modernize or abolish this system, it was legalized under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act of 1999, effective from 2000. In case the original owners sell the property to a new developer, tenants are entitled to a significant share of the sale proceeds to vacate the premises. These proceeds are considered capital assets, and reinvesting them in a new home can offer tax benefits on long-term capital gains. However, securing a home loan on Pagdi properties can be challenging due to lingering ownership issues. To facilitate loan approval, tenants must establish their ownership rights effectively.
