A. Dear Client,

Mention the notice period provided and the expectation of the refund within a week. If your landlord remains unresponsive, you may consider sending a legal notice through a lawyer demand ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Water seepage from roofs or walls is typically considered natural wear and tear caused on the age of the building, and the owner of the building is liable to get it repaired from his own pocket. A dispute between a tenant and landlord is resolved under the state-specific Rent Control Act under which a Rent Controller or Addl Rent Controller is appointed to deal with the dispute arising out of a rent agreement between the parties. So, in the prevailing situation, you can file an appl ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Given your prolonged tenancy and the change in circumstances with the rediscovery of one of the landlords, it's important to approach the situation with a clear understanding of your rights and obligations. While the Limitation Act, 1963, generally does not have specific provisions regarding the release of tenancy, Section 27 of the Act, pertaining to the revival of the right to sue, may be relevant. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional to discuss your specific sit ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Even if the property is under the control of the Wakf board, your responsibility is to pay rent to the Muthavali or any designated person authorized to collect rental payments. If there's no specified person, and you've been paying rent through the Rent Controller, this establishes your tenancy. In the absence of anyone to receive rent, depositing it with the court is a reasonable course of action, confirming your commitment to fulfilling your rental obligations. The Wakf board, if ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
If the landlord consents, a Rent Agreement can be backdated, but it is crucial to ensure that the Stamp Paper's purchase date to its notarization by a Notary, with signatories identified by an Advocate, occurs within the agreement's tenure. However, engaging in such an action may lead to legal consequences if an inquiry or investigation reveals it as an attempt to legitimize an illegal act or as part of a criminal conspiracy during the agreement's term. Seek advice from an Advocate ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
A tenant is not considered a consumer when the landlord has not agreed to render any service to the tenant in the lease agreement. Thus a dispute between tenant and landlord is not a consumer dispute and does not come under the purview of the Consumer Protection Act. The dispute arising out of a rent or lease agreement comes under the purview of the state-specific Rent Control Act or the Provincial Tenancy Act. So, serving a legal notice to the landlord, you can escalate your griev ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Based on the provided information, it seems that your community's bye-laws specify that only the person whose name appears first in the case of joint ownership has the right to vote or stand for election. Since the daughter is not a co-owner and her name does not appear first on the registration, it might be interpreted that she is not eligible based on the existing bye-laws. A Power of Attorney may grant authority to act on behalf of someone else but might not necessarily override ...ReadMore
