1. Well,the andlord does not have any legal right to claim money to change the name of the landlord.

2. on death of your father his legal heirs acquires right of tenancy by law of succession. So even if he does not change name as long as he receives rent form you your right is protected.

3. Next time send rent to his bank account.

4. You can though negotiate with him to lessen the amount so you cna resolve the problem amicably.

1) bargain with the new landlord and arrive at an amicable settlement

2) kindly clarify whether your previous agreement with earlier flat owner tenancy agreement ?

3) if you were a tenant of previous owner on purchase of house by new owner your tenancy rights would be protected

1)you mean to say previous tenant of the house

2) you need landlord consent for transfer of tenancy in your name

3) for that landlord would demand his pound of flesh .

4) hence better make payment to landlord

Still I could understand only partially,

Logically rent receipt suppose to be on tenant name ( as tenant pay rent ) . You suppose to have a agreement with new owner of the house. where come affidavit come into picture here? .

Discuss with any lawyer on the forum.

Dear Client,

No need to pay any amount, even if he is not issuing rent receipt in ur name, dosen`t matter, , what is more relevant, who is paying the rent, keep record of payment, either through cheque or online transfer from your own account.

No matter, if owner change, new owner is bound by the agreement of previous owner. There`s a presumption of continuation of tenancy even owner changed,

Issue him legal notice or formal letter through registered AD to request him to issue receipt in ur name, this way even if he don't change the name, u will have record that he intentionally not issued receipt in ur name even after request.

Through court also u get it relief.

Hi, you can pay the rent receipts in the name of the new owner .. It is his liability to make the change in the records to facilitate rent in his name ..

Under pagdi system, you are a tenant and not a owner, hence to protect your rights you may have to shell a few thousand of rupees.

This may be a big amount hence you may negotiate and halve the demand.

If you refuse to pay the amount then he may initiate eviction process thereby you may stand losing entire thing, think properly and take wise decision. legally your case may not be tenable.

Yes we have agreement with previous owner of house . But the thing is rent receipt is on previous owners name and not on my fathers name . But we have affidavits from previous owner of house that rent receipt should be transferred to my father's name and all right to house are surrender to my father. Now we are still paying rent but with previous owners name as he is claiming 100000 R's which is not afforded

The agreement or the affidavit may not enforceable in law since it is an unregistered deed.

Instead of making fuss over the issue, negotiate with the new owner and get the task done without much problem.

No need to pay the said amount.

Issue a notice to him, if he refuses to perform the task then move to the civil court for specific performance.
