1. First check the nature of tenancy. If the tenancy is for commercial purpose then the landlord ahs nothing to say in running of the business unless and until the business is lawful.

2. In the case of commercialternancy the consent of landlord is not otherwise required.

you can start a fixed rate or sales bases but the matter of concern is that whether landlord will be agree. terms of letting should be taken into consideration when property was let out on pagdi. if there is no such clause to change nature of business then landlord shall not bother otherwise his consent is necessary.

Until you are doing any business within the scope of the rental agreement, you cannot be restricted by the landlord.

If there is no condition forbidding you from carrying out business through franchise, in my opinion, you should not face any trouble.

what if owner is not ready to give consent?

Firstly, you do not seek his permission or consent to start the franchise business, you may proceed with your program, if he objects then you may handle it legally, by first issuing a legal notice and then obtain injunction by filing a suit seeking to restrain him from indulging in such activities other than by due process of law. .
