Long Term Tenancy

Wanted some advice regarding the below mentioned case history :

Around early 1950's a lease agreement was made and the same was registered in Pondicherry Registrars Office.  Since then RENT was given from Rs.50 and gradually increased to Rs.300/- till March 2004. The agreement made between the two parties were succeeded by their sons. No fresh agreement was made and the hiked Rent of Rs.300/- from 1977 till 2004 was maintained with a rent receipt, in 2004, the said Landlord calls upon the Tenant and asks to pay Rs.6000/- per month and said orally that after five years he would sell the demised property by deducting the amount. From 2004  April onwards Rs. 6000/- was given and no rent receipt was issued by thesaid landlord. Now, in 2009 March, exactly after five years, the said landlord sends a R.P.A.D saying that " Pay the Rent Rs.6000/- for the demised permises by the 5th date of every monthly calendar." Since the receipt of this R.P.A.D., the statutory tenant stopped paying Rs. 6000/-. We have a filed a case.

Now my query is :

1. According to the said landlord, Can the rent be increased from Rs.300 to 6000 at a go ?

2. When an agreement is made between the father's of the landlord and tenant and as they both have deceased, why hasn't the landlord renewed or made a fresh agreement between him and the present tenant who is the son of the registered tenant ?

3. In way of mouth, it seems that he is going to sell the property to someone else, 

         1. Can he sell to someone else without our knowledge ?

          2. Can the tenant have a way of stopping that selling procedure ?

         3. Is there any advantage from the tenant 's side  as he is being there since early 1950's, and since then               he is maintaining the building too.

Awaiting your suggestions

Thank You
