Respected Sir,

Thanks for your prompt reply, but during the period when my Mom is around if I would request to change the name in the rent receipt would there be any charges to be paid to the Landlord like the 33% of property value or how does it work ,as my Landlord is a Masjid trust , and the attornment deed should be informed to the Landlord or can I just prepare the document and keep it for my safety.
