First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) if shop is closed by your father landlord can evict your father by filing eviction suit
2) your father can carry on some business in said shop
3) father cannot sublet shop without landlord consent in writing
4) father can with landlord consent transfer tenancy rights of shop in your name
5) father can surrender tenancy rights to landlord or sell shop to third party with landlord consent
1. Your father is a tenant in the property though it is under pagdi system.
Thus it becomes the duty of the tenant to pay the rent regularly.
Non payment of rent shall be a strong reason for eviction, hence think about it.
2. Sub-letting is not legal, however since it is pagdi system shop, the subletting may not draw a big adverse situation.
3. No nomination can be made for a rented shop. he can talk to the landlord to transfer the rental agreement to your name.
As mentioned its pagdi System shop Land lord is willing to give his consent in writing that we can give it to rent to third party. Q1. consent must be in form of letter or stamp paper ?any specific points to keep in mind. Q2. When we give our shop for rent, do we need to register somewhere that we are giving our shop on rent. I mean what's the procedure for rent? Or Agreement on 100 rs stamp paper suffice. Q3. Agreement must be signed by 2 parties ( tenant and third party to whom we are giving shop on rent) do we need to make it tripliicate involving (landlord also Q4. Do we need to inform police station for the same . Thanks awaiting for response Nirav
If landlord is ready and willing to extend his cooperation to given his consent in writing to sub let the property, then you may get it endorsed in the rental agreement by a separate document in a nonjudicial stamp paper.
Since it is mandatory to register the rental agreement in Maharashtra, irrespective of rental tenure, you may have to get it registered.
The landlord's consent in a separate document will suffice the requirement and the sub-letting agreement may be signed between the tenant and the new incumbent
Any new tenant, the details of it are to be notified to the police station
1) letter by landlord on his letter head that he has no objections to you subletting the shop should suffice
2) it is not necessary it be on stamp paper
3) leave and licence should be entered into . it should be duly stamped and regsitered
4) enclose letter of landlord that he has no objection to premises being given on rent
5) no need to inform local police station
