Need Urgent Help on termination of Lease Agreement


Dear Members need urgent help

My father has given a property (9000 s,ft) to one Company on monthly rent basis. He had executed a Lease agreement on 15-04-2007 for a period of 3 years till 14-04-2010,(un-registered) monthly rent payable of Rs.50000/-  with Security deposit of Rs.1 lakh.

In the year 2009, August Month the Tenant Company has requested my father to reduce rent from Rs.50000/- to Rs.37,000/- due to recession of world economic. My father does not know the law he stays in Urban city, Kolar, Karnataka, without my notice/knowledge he has accepted the tenant Company proposal.

The fact is that the Tenant Company had taken this chance and executed (without terminating previous agreement) a fresh Lease agreement for a period of 3 years from 21-8-2009 to 20-08-2012, on monthly rent of Rs.37,000/- and got signature of my father, rather than executing Supplementary Agreement for reducing the rent.

My father was not aware of fresh Lease Agreement scenario, what he thought that this Agreement will be expired on 14-04-2010, that’s it.

My father approached the Tenant Company in the month of May 2010 to increase the monthly rent, but the Tenant Company still they are telling that they are still not come out from the recession and there is no income for them and not ready to  increase the rent.

The Tenant Company is involving in wood and all kind of interior service. Nowadays they will be working till late night, due to huge order, I personally cross checked their personnel, they told me that the Company is going very good and increased their wages also.

Now my father has decided to vacate that Company.

Hence I seek learned members advise on how to gohead, as per both lease agreement 3 months notice period is there to terminate the lease agreement.

Can my father refer as per old lease agreement to vacate this said lease agreement? Or

My father has to refer as per fresh agreement to terminate the lease agreement?,

He wants to vacate the Company, please advise which is the best way to move on this issue.

Draft Termination or Vacate notice may be sent to me, because it is helpful for me and my poor father.

I feel that as per old lease agreement he could go-head.

 

Please need urgent help.

dear sir,

the pereiod of tenency has nothing to do will eviction of tenenat. every state has its own rent control act, u must go through it. some acts provide for evection of tenent where the property is commercial and rent is so high thn without prooving any ground of nessessecity of default u may simply terminate the tenancy.

u may also file petetion for revisoin of rent, and pleaed ur basic rent as 50000 thn got it enhanced. there is a new agreement of rent still novation of teneany is not there. under most of the cases the date of tenacy is taken as the date when the primises was let out for the first time.

u can call me too for further assistence on 09929112039

dear sir,

i have also seen the rent control act of Karnatka. the rent control act is not applicable in ur case as the rent is very high. u only need to terminate the tenancy by issuing a simple notice under section 106 of TP act. plz consult some local advocate too.

thanx

Dear Amit Gupta, thank you thank you very muich for your good advise.

Let me know if any draft. I feel that I can send a notice in an one line stating that 'we intended to terminate the agreement from ...........date, please vacate the primieses with effect from....date,

 

Is it okay rather than making complecats.

Please advise.

ya its quite ok to give a one line notice. bt atleast give one month notice and file the suit atleast after 3 months but i think there is condition of 2 months in ur case. plz consult some advocate in ur state too. it is really nessessory. becasue ur one wrong step can distruct ur case of action for all the litigation. remember

Mr. Basavraj,

I think you are mixing Leave And Liscence with lease.

If your father has accepted monthly fees,then it is L & L agreement. If yearly fees

then Lease. So YOU can Vacate the company from the  premises by terminating the 

second (registered) agreement by giving notice of termination accg to the agreement.

Take all the grounds including fraud and undue influence.

Best luck.
