This query is : Resolved
My landlady is expired and her son in law has started collecting rent from our building since last 2 years, I have taken few receipts from him and ask the rent collector to provide me documents of the transfer of ownership but still not received. I have stopped paying rent since August 2009 in order to pay the rent to right owner. Till date I have not received any letter or notice from the landlord about transfer of ownership of any legal possession of the premises. Kindly advise how pay rent to the right owner or where can I pay the rent for avoiding future problems.
I am worried as some people say if you don't pay the rent for six months, the laqndlord can file a suit of eviction.
Please advise.

Issue him a legal notice in respect of production of document of ownership. Pleading of your readyness and willingness for payment of rent is necessary in the said notice.

You can file a civil suit for injunction and deposit of rent in the court to avoid eviction.

I completely agree with the opinion of Mr. Kale in this case.
