Hi, I am staying in a house for more than 50 years, me and my wife, both aged. It is a rented property and we are paying a rent of 500inr, electricity bill comes on my name and we do not have an agreement, now we had to repair the house as condition became rundown, so we had a verbal discussion and I started the repair, now the landlord us asking to stop the repair work and make ab agreement, an agreement of 11 months, and rent to be increased by 10% every year and asking for 5000inr per month. Now I want to buy the property where I am staying. Please advice me what shall I do as the half repaired house is not fit ti stay.
First of all it is difficult to ascertain whether the tenancy is in your name or not. If it is so in that case question of holding of an agreement with the landlord is immaterial. Secondly whether the landlord is receiving the rent from your end and upto which period the rent has been paid from your end. As regard your repairing of the house in this case if the nature and character of the house is in dilapidated conditions and if it needs proper repairing in that event permission of land lord as well permission from the end of the related municipal corporation and /or municipality is must. However in terms of amendment in tenancy act your landlord can seek enhanced rent from your end if the same has not been enhanced for a long period up to 3 times of the rent last paid and thereafter every three years your rent shall be increased by 5% of the the than rent. In your case if you have decided to purchase the property than it is advisable to have the same transferred in your favour .
Alternatively your may seek direction from the court for getting the repairing permission by filing an application against the land lord as in terms of the new tenancy act landlord is duty bound to repair and maintain the rented out premises in habitable conditions at its own cost and charges.

U can seek protection before the civil court of your territorial jurisdiction. But if you pay the rent then you must have maintain the monthly rent receipts which is very important instruments in those type of suit. For better suggestion you can consult any civil lawyer.
Thank you.
