This query is : Resolved
Hello!
I am having two queries. My shop is under pagri system from last 45 yrs at nominal amount of rent which i have een paying.
1) Form 2000-2001 landlord has stopped accepting rent from me ( which usually i use to pay in cash againts receipt from him). Now even after too many request he is delaying the acceptance of rent and asking me to revise the rent. Inspite of suitable revisions form my end he is just not accepting the rent anyhow. Whats my legal position in this case where rent is not accepted by land lord since last 8-9 yrs and i dont have any proofs / receipts
2) If i want to sell the said shop which is on Pagri system, how cna i go ahead. Can land lord say "No" to a deal. . Can land loar revise rent unreasonabally high so that deal cant be worked out. If yes then whats the solution by law for such tenents
Thanks

You must have other documents like municipal receipts, Shop Regn. certificate from D.L.O, Electricity bills, Sales tax/ VAT Regn. certificate , PAN card issued by various statutory authorities for some years back which will evidence your occupation of the premises even in absence of a rent agreement . So, Why do you worry that there is no proof of occupation.
Besides, as regards the rent demand, pl. compare the rent paid by occupants of similar premises in the same vicinity and fnd whether there is any logic behind
landlord's indifferent behaviour and try to strike a balance. In case you fail, Consult an experienced local lawyer in Rent Control Act for redressal of your grievances legally.
