This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,
We have one room in my mother’s name in Paghadi System Chawl.
We have purchased this room in 1999 from another person with the permission of landlord.
Rent of this room is Rs. 25/- p.m. We have paid all the rent till November, 2009.
After that he is not accepting rent from us. He is demanding rent of Rs. 2500/- p.m. from us.
Till November, 2008 we were leaving in that room. After that we have shifted to another room which is on leave & license agreement for personal reason.
My father is always stock some amount of goods in that room. The goods are of cutlery in nature.
This goods are not even dangerous. This is even not affecting anyone who are leaving nearby that room.
No one has any objection who is leaving in that chawl.
The goods are also in small size. The room is also of 100sq. ft. (approx.).
He is warning us that give him rent or he will going to stop us to do any thing in that room.
We have also tried to file a complaint against him in Police Station.
But they are saying that they can not write any complaint against him.
They are saying that we go to advocate and do some legal proceedings.
But at this time we do not have enough money to appoint advocate.
We have tried to convince the land lord till level best.
So please advice me what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

You can apply to the cheif metropolitan magistrate on a simple application to provide you an advocate and all litigation expenses if your income is less than Rs. 75,000 per year or you are lady or belong to SC/ST category etc.
You should file a civil suit seeking stay order against such person and should deposit the arrears of the rent in court and future rent should also be deposited therein till the case is pending.
