Yes yo9u can file a suit against your tenant on low rent in Punjab Rent control Act.. Supreme court in its landmark Judgment in 2011 gave some guidelines to cover cases like yours. NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has drafted a model landlord-tenant agreement promising tenants five years of peaceful stay in the premises if they give rent at market rate, increase it by 10% every three years and pay the property tax for the house. It asked the tenants to pay up every charge accrued on the house to enable the landlord get the rentals without any deduction.

Hitting in the dark may not help you in any way, unless the property is inherited legally by the legal heirs and subsequently authorised by the legal heirs. Presently, you do not seem to have any right to sue the tenant on behalf of your grandfather.

Are the late grandfather's properties still in common enjoyment of all the legal heirs? In other words, have the properties not partitioned? Who is in possession/occupation of the building?
