I was tenant in pagdi system living in a building in south Mumbai for last 8 years.property type commercial. Our bldg was taken for redevelopment by a builder in 2012.He had also promised to pay monthly rent for the alternate accommodation till the possession of the new flat. They had made an agreement regarding the same & registered it.He issued 1 year cheque that's got cleared after a year he didnt issue any cheque always saying short of money.He had blocked rent for above 3 years.Shall I lose my ancestral residence or is there any way out? I hope you understand the seriousness of the situation and guide me the way to get peaceful possession of our owned commercial property at the earliest.

You have Ur tenancy right in the property hence landlord can not evict you,unless u hv violated statutory provisions of law. if there is any tenancy agreement has been executed then as per terms of the agreement u can leave there.otherwise you have right in ur Property as tenant .even if property goes for redevelopment.. u vl have ur right in new construction in proportion to ur present area with some incentive as provided under relevant law.

hello...first of all..dont worry ...u will not loose your property as all legal remedy is available in your favour but without looking in to the agreements entered in to between you and builders ...its not proper to advise you on legal remedy .

Sir
your query is unclear to understand the factual background.
In the begining you mentioned that you are living since last eight years in a building -commercial property. But in later part you say that it is your ancestral residence. So it is unclear as to the actual permitted user of your tenancy premises.
Leaving apart above lack of clarity, my advice to you is to take legal action against builder for non performance of agreement. It can be a civil suit or a consumer complaint as per your choice. Latter is cost saving and comparatively time saving but with limited releif. Former will provide you wide reliefs and it is more effective.
Rent Court is opted out as you have no grievence against your landlord.
