When Landlord is not coming to collect rent
every tenant should send the rent by M.O. with a note that as he is not coming and collecting and has not accepted M.O. is being sent.If land lord refuses to receive M.O. and is returned by post office,a notice should be sent to the landlord that as he was being paid rent through cheque he use to collect,M.O. was sent which has been refused landlord should tell his Bank account number in which tenant may deposit rent,if he still fails to disclose his account and remain silent,an application should be moved in court to deposit the rent regularly in court.Doing so landlord can not brand tenant as defaulter and can not sue for eviction on this ground.
Take help of a nearby civil lawyer practicing rent cases.
