Under the Pagdi system in Mumbai, tenancy rights are governed by the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999. Merely owning another ownership flat does not automatically disqualify your or your family's claim over the Pagdi property. However, succession to tenancy rights generally favors the legal heir who was residing with the tenant at the time of their death. If none of you were residing there or if the landlord challenges succession, ownership of other properties may be used as a factor in court, but it's not solely decisive. Ensure proper documentation of continuous residence and utility bills to support your claim when required.

In Mumbai, properties under the pagadi system are governed by tenancy laws. Ownership of another flat by your father or family members does not automatically nullify your claim over the pagadi property, especially if your father has been the lawful tenant since 1980. However, acquiring multiple ownership properties could affect your right to tenancy if the landlord challenges your tenancy on grounds of alternate accommodation under Rent Control laws. You should ensure the tenancy rights are properly transferred or inherited according to legal procedure after your father's time. For full protection of rights, consider consulting a lawyer experienced in Mumbai tenancy laws.
