Question

virtual office Rent agreement not renewed

11-Sep-2026 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)

Hi, I was leasing one virtual office (never visited there only used the address for obtaining gst) for purpose of gaining GST certificate. After 11 month rent agreement expired & there after 1.5 years i received the text from owner to renew the agreement. He threaten me to cancel my gst registration by telling gst officer. So i have already changed the address on my gst, but now he is demanding the rent of 2 year. I am liable to pay rent? He can do anything legally on me?

यदि 11 महीने का किराया समझौता समाप्त हो चुका था और उसके बाद आपने उस कार्यालय का उपयोग या कब्जा जारी नहीं रखा, तो केवल पुराने समझौते के आधार पर 2 वर्ष का किराया मांगना स्वतः उचित नहीं माना जा सकता। Transfer of Property Act की धारा 116 में holding over तभी लागू होता है जब किरायेदार कब्जे में बना रहे और मकान मालिक किराया स्वीकार करे या उसके जारी रहने पर सहमति दे। GST के संबंध में मकान मालिक स्वयं आपका GST registration रद्द नहीं कर सकता। GST अधिकारी ही निर्धारित प्रक्रिया और नोटिस के बाद कार्रवाई कर सकते हैं। यदि आपने GST में नया पता विधिवत अपडेट कर दिया है, तो पुराने मकान मालिक की शिकायत मात्र से स्वतः GST cancellation नहीं होती। अपने पुराने agreement, payment records, address-change acknowledgement और GST documents सुरक्षित रखें

Answer #3

Once your agreement term comes to an end, unless otherwise specifically mentioned in the first and original rent agreement to the contrary; if the agreement is not renewed thereafter by again executing it, you are in no manner liable to pay the rent just because it was shown as an address on your GST portal. Also you must have left the possession of the rented premises and that there is no such business activity which is being carried on by you on that rented premises for the 2 years of disputed period.
