Landlord asking to vacate property what to do


02-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
We are living in a house since our Grandfather's time(more than 50 years) as a tenant of a disputed property. Now Mr. X, who was earlier the tenant has started demanding for the rent claiming that now he is the owner of the property. He also claims that he has purchased the property from the original owners(inherited grandchildren of the landlord) We want to know our rights as a tenant, and in what all conditions he can ask us to vacate the property.

Hello, no one can evict you like that, incase of ownership we need to know few things, like did they informed or served you any notice before selling the property? Is there any agreement? The new buyer registered his property or not? In any case you can file your matter before the court.

To resolve this problem we need to see your tenancy documents and other allied papers. In conference we have to get some relevant facts from you in connection with the tenanted property. Thereafter, an appropriate legal notice or petition will be filed on behalf of you. You need to come for conference. Subhasish Bhowmick, AOR & Counsel in Supreme Court
