tenant query

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 June 2010 This query is : Resolved
Hello Sir,
I have rented an house in perungudi for Rs.18,000. As per my rental agreement I was asked to either pay an increased rent of Rs.20,000 or vacate the property once the agreement comes terminates(at the end of 11 months). I was asked to do the same by the landlored after the agreement period. They issued a 3 months' notice when I was abroad. Since the postman refused to deliver it to anyone else, they sent me a notice again, after a month, this time giving me 2 month's notice period. I am not able to find another house rightaway but I am regularly transferring the 18,000 every month on the specified date.
What hold do I have to continue to live in the same premises for a few more months until I find another house.?

You can legally remain in possession of the tenanted property till you could be evicted by the court of law. Tenant in possession of property after expiry of the stipulated time is a'tenant at will', not a trespasser.

You file a case for fixation of standard rent and at the same time ask for payment of rent in the court.You rent will be substantially reduced if you can show proof from vicinity for similar properties at lasser rent.

Once you file the case landlord will not be able to evict you.
