This query is : Resolved
I have given a shop in rent 2012 for 1 year contract
agreement on Rs.10/- stamp paper. The tenant got 'Trade License'
on basis of that agreement from Local Municipality .
After the contract period over ,the tenant did not vacate the shop ,
neither paid rent, but still the 'Trade License' is renewed every year .
My Question is
1) Can i Inform 'Local Municipality' by writing letter,
that tenant is no more tenant with me. Without my consent or court order ,'Trade License'
should not be renewed ?
2) 'Local Municipality' comes under RTI act ? Can i send RTI to know what document they are submitting to renew 'Trade License' ?
3) Can I send letter to 'Local Municipality’ , to inform them that tenant have made illegally contraction on Municipality area beyond my area also ?

Reply:
He is having business in the premises till vacated. Payment of rent not related with license. You may write to Municipality not to renew license till rent agreement renewed. Municipality would agree is doubtful.

Reply: Such documents related to other concern may not be provided through RTI. However, no harm in trying.
3) Can I send letter to 'Local Municipality’ , to inform them that tenant have made illegally contraction on Municipality area beyond my area also ?

Sir/Madam,
It all depends on the applicable laws of your state.
However an unregistered agreement may not be accepted as evidence in a Court of Law.
You may approach the local Municipality for cancellations of the license.
You had better contact an advocate in your own interests.
Good luck,
