I am a land lord of a building situated in mumbai city . one of the residential premise (272 sq. ft. carpet) which consist of two rooms occupied by two brothers.one of the room has two doors. The rent receipt is in the name of two brothers . They had occupied this property in the year 2006.
I am in negociation with a developer to redevelop the property under DCR-33(7).
Now the tennents are forcing me to split the rent receipt to take advantage of getting 300 sq ft by each brother. I feel that splittig of receipt at this juncture is illegal / Please advise me What should I do ?.

instead of splitting the receipt ask them vacate the building, because you want to redevelop the property.

yes, why are you not asking to vacate the building? I agree with Mr. Rajoo
