Hello Experts,
I stay in pagdi chawl in mumbai suburb and we tenants are confused regarding the pagdi law which comes under maharashtra rent control act.
we all know according to the pagdi chawl....the landlord is the owner and the people staying in the pagdi house are the tenants....
issue is that some of the officers from the SRA bandra has come for the survey and request the pagdi tenants to submit the documents like electricity bill,voter list etc before 01/01/2000...they told we are just gathering information how many numbers of slum houses are there.
we told the SRA officers that the chawl is pagdi chawl...the officers told doesnt matter if it comes under the pagdi or ownership.....
now tenants are worried that if we sumbitted the documents and afterwards come to know from the SRA that the documents are not valid and NOT ELIGIBLLE for the SRA flats..
now what can be done in this case????
does pagdi chawl comes under the SRA ????if the landlord approach the private builder and put 33% stake to claim the property or it appproach the SRA?then what will be consqquences on the tenants to claim the flats...
if the landord goes with the private builder what will be the effects on the tenants?(some of the tenants or the legal heirs havent paid rent from the last 40-50 years and havent transfer rent receipt after the death of the real tenants)...does the private builder first check the rent receipt then afterwards the tenants has the right to entitle the flat???
if the landlords approach the SRA then according to the SRA rules the tenants has to give the proof before 1.1.2000 to eligible for the flat in the SRA....if they are not eligible then ??some of the tenants are staying from the last 40-50 years.....
