Pagadi system house

Santosh Nandal (Querist) 17 May 2017 This query is : Resolved
My father own a pagadi system house in south Mumbai. He is not staying in that house since last 4 years due to some health issues. Now the property owner has sent a letter to surrender the house within 1 month after receiving this letter.

1. Can i sell this house now?
2. Is there a rule to surrender the house if we dont stay in that house for certain period ?

Sir,
Your father does not own the house but he is only a tenant of the house.

You do not have any right to sell the house without the consent of the landlord.

The landlord can recover possession of the premises if the premises have not been used without reasonable cause for the purpose for which they were let for a continuous period of six months immediately preceding the date of the suit.

You are advised to consult an advocate at the earliest.

Good Luck,
Kishor Mehta
