Respect Sir,
We have a flat in hyderabad which we for rent. We are staying in Chennai. But the tenant in that house has suddenly disappeared leaving all his belongings in our house. We dont't have any rental agreement too. After occupy the house the person stayed only for 10-15 days with his family. We came to know from some our neighbour that he had loss in his business, so he along with his family suddenly disappeared. Now we waited for 3 months. But we didn't get any information from him. His contact no. is also not reachable. We want to vacate the house and take it into our handover. As we are shifting to Hyderabad in June. Please Somebody help us in this regard.
Thanking you

From the query it appears that you are not receiving rent for the past 3 months, hence advise you to approach the local police station and lodge a complaint about the missing whereabouts of the tenant and his family and also notify by way of a public notice stating the facts and then take possession of the flat.

Do not take possession of the tenanted portion by breaking the locks at your own rather involve either police authorities or local municipal commissioner, neighbors otherwise you can be leveled false allegations of misappropriation of some valuable articles claimed to be lying in the tenanted portion. Make list of all the articles found and obtain signature of all witnesses with date and time.

i agree with Mr. Vishal, the belongins of the tenant must go in safe hands, better be deposited with the police.
