Hello,
If that is the case then you can send him a legal notice with regards to the situation in hand and tell him that from next month you will increase the rent failing which you will have to vacate the primises; for the reason that rent agreeements are not transferred with transfer of ownership, new owner has all the rights to chip iin his terms and conditions.
If however he does not agree to increase the rent you can file a SCC Suit in the court of law.
Regards
You can file a petition for eviction of tenant on the ground that you require the premises for your bona fide personal use. A tenant who is paying only 150 will never agree to increase it to 8000, so better evict him and rent out the shop to someone who pays rent at market rate.
In the absence of rental agreement it can be construed that the rental agreement with the tenant should have expired long ago and the tenant is continuing the tenancy on an oral agreement basis or even without it.
You should have insisted to the vendor to handover vacant possession or at least to hand over a copy of the rental agreement.
you may now ask the vendor to either evict the tenant or to handover the rental agreement or else you can drag him to court for this.
Alternately you can issue notice to the tenant stating that you are the new owner of the property and if he wants to continue the tenancy he may have to enter into fresh agreement and has to pay the newly fixed rent.
If the tenant is not agreeing to pay the enhanced rent you may notify him to vacate and handover vacant possession within 7 days from his decision after receiving the notice.
Discuss with a local advocate and issue a legal notice to the tenant.
As this tenant is very old, and no agreement is there. As befo
There is no room for sentiment when you have decided to go ahead with legal action to safeguard your interest.
You have to demand enhancement in rent and can direct him to vacate If he refuses. The absence of agreement is advantage to you

2) Landlord used to merely issue rent receipts
3) file suit for eviction if you require premises for personal use
