Dear Abhishek,

Firstly, is there an agreement between you and the landlord?? if not then is the tenancy transferred to your name after your fathers demise? he is entitled to increase the rent as per market value. Also, you can send the rent via cheques or DD by Regd post. You should first get the tenancy transferred into your name and then talk about the rent. Also, you cannot sublet the premises without the landlords knowledge.
