Sir,
Our land lord filled eviction and fair rent cases against us in small cause court. It is nearing for judgment. Now we want to do some decoration work (carpentry work, electrical work, tiles laying and small masonry repairs) due to the old and ugly look of our shop effecting our business and image. And as the case is in the court our competitors think that we will vacate the building in few months.
In order to overcome these issues and strengthen our business, we want to do the decoration work without our land lord permission.
My questions are
1) Is it ok to do these works without owner permission i.e. can he able to get stay or something like that in court and stop us from doing or continuing the work?
2) Will the court go in favor of the owner, even though if we give above mentioned reasons, as he is the owner of the building!
3) What are all the precautions should we take it order to complete the work without anyone interruption? It will take minimum 15 days to complete the work as it is 1500 sq feet area.
I am asking all this, because if the work stops in the middle then it will be very big loss to our image, money and business. Our lawyer is not giving proper advice, he says if you want to do then do it, so we need your valuable advice on this.
