Hi,
I have a clarification on rental agreement. One of my tenant is vacating house they are basically three people (husband, wife and daughter), so my clarification is
1. The agreement was made in the name of Husband and during agreement he had given the advance in the form of cheque from his account. He is settled in foreign since 1+ year. So not sure when he will be back or never.
a. Now his wife and daughter has vacated the house and claims that she has lost the original rental agreement. So to be on safer side what steps/agreement needs to be performed
i. To acknowledge from the tenant that she has misplaced/lost the original rental agreement and the same has not been surrendered to any bank/organisation towards the loan or anything.
ii. The agreement was made in his husbands name, so can we hand over the advance cheque to his wife in his absence? so that tomorrow his husband does not blame that why was the advance money paid to his wife (due to relationship problem)
So kindly let me know if any relevant format/document is present for this so that we can take signature from his wife, so that once she leaves we are not in trouble as police/bank people or her husband may not trouble and to make sure that we have taken enough precautions before she vacates. So please suggest the action to be taken as per the law
Thanks
