TENANCY

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 February 2010 This query is : Resolved
We are tenant since 1977. Since last 12 years the landlord is not paying any taxes or doing any repair work. we are paying the taxes [corporation property tax] since last 12 years. Now the people from the corporation has suggested us to be "BHOGAVTADAR" [MARATHI WORD]so that the bill will be issued in your name directly. Is this legal? should we do this?
At present the premises is not in used. we are regularly paying the rent to the heirs of landlord [who has expired] and also receiving receipt of the same. the premises is very old of stone is mud mortar with A.C. sheet roofing. the repair work will cost more. Is will be economical to build new one. The landlord is not ready to give it to the builder. There is other tenant also on ground floor. One shop is in closed position since 1977.
Can we loose our tenancy right as we are not using the premises? We cannot carryout the office work in present condition of the office.

u ll ve to look into the local Rent Law in this context and as far as payment of taxes is concerned pls refer to the local municipal laws.

find out whether Non-user of property is a ground for eviction in ur region.

and if u r not using the property then leave the tenancy, why are u taking the burden upon yourself....otherwise long stay as a tenant will not make you owner....its better advised leave property as it is in dilapidated condition too.
