Staying in rented property for 40 yrs flat sold to someone our rights?
17-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
Dear Sir, We are based in Vadodara, Gujarat and have been having a rented flat of 400 sq.feet since more than 40 years where my father resides. He has been paying his rent regularly by cheque. Recently the flat is sold to a new owner without informing us about the sale, we also wanted to buy that flat. Sir, my question is that is our right as tenant affected by this ? Can we challenge this sale deed in court as there was no prior intimation from the seller or buyer regarding this? Can the new owner tell us to vacate the flat or ask us to increase the rent ?
