What happens if there is no rental agreement?
Tenant issues:
You can be asked to vacate the property by your landlord at any time. Rent can be increased by the landlord at any time. If a tenant does not have a rental agreement, they cannot claim tax exemption through HRA. Rent agreements are admissible in court.
What to do if landlord refuses to give deposit back?
Talking to an attorney is the next step if talking to your landlord doesnt help. He will assist you in drafting a Legal Notice that you can send to your landlord. If that doesnt help, you can file a civil lawsuit in court to recover the rental deposit. 27-May-2022

What are remedies available to the tenants if the landlord refused to receive the monthly rent?
You can pay your rent to the local court if you want to stay. If they try to evict for not paying rent, you can challenge the action. When you go to court, the judge will trust you because you have the money.
Hi. Probably the landlord is under impression that the original tenant I.e your brother has permanently left the place and has given the premises to you. So may be by accepting rent he does not wish to recognise you as a tenant of the premises. But it's surprising that the landlord has not accepted rent from you since past 4 years and has also not instituted any suit against you for your eviction from the premises. In such a scenario what I suggest is you issue a letter, either personally by your brother or through a lawyer, addressed to the landlord, stating therein that your brother has opened a savings bank account in so and so bank and has been depositing the monthly rent of the premises regularly in that account since the landlord is not accepting rent. You can write that that particular account is opened in your brother's name and the landlord is made a nominee. All interest accruing in that account shall also be for benefit of landlord. Give the account details in that letter. And address it to him so that your compliance of paying monthly rent is duly placed on record. This will be helpful to you when the landlord files an eviction suit against you/your brother on ground of non payment of rent. Please call for further clarification.

Just wait for notice of demand from landlord. If notice is received by your brother, u may send a reply through ur brother along with rent by cheque and explaining that u r part of tenants family and living with them. U must ensure that rent b paid in 90 days from the date of receipt of demand notice

If the landlord refuses to accept rent anymore, send him the rent by money order (MO). If the money order is returned, open a Recurring deposit (RD) in a local bank. Every MO you receive must be deposited into this RD.
