07-May-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I am Tenant with registered agreement with court in delhi with lock in period 12 month for commercial Shop but in 7th month i am loss i spent my entire life saving now i am not able to pay rent and shop also vacant and I want to give keys to landlord but landlord want to recieved the key he said key will received in court he filled case on me for not paying rent please suggest what i can do
Hello, as far as i could understand your query it is regarding early termination of lease for which you are having a registered lease deed. There must be a clause in the lease deed wherein a stipulation must've been there for early termination by sending a notice to the tenant/landlord, but the problem with your case is that you are having a clause of LOCK IN PERIOD in your lease deed which mandates you to pay the rent of the whole 12 months, what you can do is send him a notice before 3 months of the completion of the lock in period i.e in the 9th month or immediately send him the notice of your intention to terminate the lease deed at the end of 12 months lock in period so that at the end of the 12th month you're no longer liable to pay the rent and can move out peacefully, but regarding the rent for these 5 months which remains of the lock in period , as per law you'll have to pay the rent to him for these 5 months whether you use the property or not. i can give you Further advice and find loop holes only after going through the lease deed .
