This query is : Resolved
I had taken a shop on rent, twenty years ago.
The rent agreement was for a period of eleven months. I had paid pugree of Rs.1.75 lakhs to the landlord, and the rent was Rs.750 per month. The agreement was not renewed after expiry of eleven months, but I continued to occupy the shop and have been paying regularly rent and the owner has been issuing me the receipt every month. Now the owner has filed an application for vacation of the shop occupied by me on the ground personal use of I have received a notice for filing an application for appearance,
Can I oppose the plaint on the ground that there was an understanding after expiry of initial eleven months, that the tenancy was life long and can be terminated only by mutual agreement.
Please advise. Also, is there any prescribed format of application to appear and defend.
Thanks in anticipation.

contact a local lawyer . you have to file detailed reply to eviction suit . if landlord requires premises for personal use and does not have any other property in his name court may pass orders in his favour

All that you have to do is to find out whether the owner required for his own personal use; whether he has any other premises (shops) for his use; whether he has been angling for increase of rent; and any other reason. Thus only on merit you have to oppose his petition.
