Hi,
I was born and brought up in a rented house located in good locality.I was staying there with my father, mother and uncle.My Uncle was unmarried and being elger in the family, the rent receipt was coming on his name.We are staying there for more than 60 years.I got married 4 years back. Recently my uncle passed away and now only my parents are staying there.We have very good relation with our landlord.We have given the application to transfer the rent receipt in the name of my father which they not yet done.
I am staying with my husband in our own house in the same city and looking after my parents as I am the only daughter. What will be my right in our house? Do we have to surrender the house to the landlord after my parents? Is there any way out by which I can claim the right?
Please guide...

After demise of your Uncle your father being legal heir will succeeded to the tenancy rights in the property and after your father and mother, you being only legal heir would have rights of tenancy in the said property.
As stated you are married and staying with your husband in another house, the Landlord can file a petition u/s 14(1) (h) of Delhi Rent Control Act, if property is situated in Delhi.
If the landlord wants to evict your parents forcibly from the tenanted property, your father can file a suit for permanent injunction.
