Dear Experts
My friend has rent out a building for a shop in a suburb place and it is under rental agreement.
The monthly rental is Rs 2500 and the shop keeper has paid an advance amount of Rs 15000/- only.
It seems , due to heavy debts the shop keeper has suddenly vanished along with his family by locking the shop but has informed my friend that he will come back within 2 months but never returned back. The shop keeper has a close friend but he is also not aware of the shop keeper whereabouts.
The rental agreement is valid till March 2013 and the balance advance amount of Rs 7500 is with my friend.
My queries
1. When and How to vacate the tenent ?
2. Shal we break open the shop in presence of police and the shop keepers close friend ?
3. What is the legal process involved
Kindly advise
Thanks and regards
Siva
