Is court intervention required to change rent depositor's name
09-Mar-2023 (In Civil Law)
My father was depositing rent through the rent control for 15 yrs. He died on 25/12/2012. Because of my mother's hospitalization we kept on depositing the rent in my father's name. Now we want to deposit rent in my mother's name. What is the process? Do we have to go for hearing ?
Sir,
If you had been depositing rent in rent controller it means a case is already pending before the rent controller and you need to establish your tenancy if you want to change your name. But the first approach must be with your Landlord. Court intervention may be necessary if it fails. For further proper steps you may contact me.

Tenancy devolves automatically. So you can deposit rent in your mother's name. However, it is to be noted that since your father was the original tenant and as because five years have already been elapsed from his demise, you or your mother can no longer be treated as tenant unless there is any fresh agreement.
