Hello all,
A few questions regarding the rights of the Tenant under Pagdi System in Mumbai.
Property has two tenants. Tenant 1 (T1) is a US citizen and lives in USA, while Tenant 2 (T2) is an Indian citizen with the ability to gain US citizenship. T2's wife and child live in the property and both are Indian citizens with no plans of foreign citizenship. USA does not allow dual citizenship.
If T2 was to accept US citizenship (relinquish Indian citizenship) and live in USA:
1. Can T1 and T2 continue being legal tenants if neither one has Indian citizenship?
2. If yes to above question, can T2's wife and child live in the property without either tenant's presence?
3. If no to above question, how often would either tenant need to visit the property to continue their legal tenancy and let T2's wife and child live in the property?
4. Do T1 and T2 both need to deposit rent in their own names or can either tenant deposit the full rent?
Please specify which codes/statutes with appropriate section are being referred for each question. Thank you for your time and answers!
