I have cesc as my tenant in property ..
My rent was approx Rs 8 per sq ft when tenure got completed in january 2019..it was a 20 years contract..
It had the clause that if cesc is willing to stay then we cannot remove him but would be at the market rate prevailing at that point of time in locality and also he has to inform us 3months prior of completion of agreement that he wants to continue using property for another term which they did not do neither by written or any means.The agreement was done by previous owner of the property..Now when I am asking for fair market rate as per the clause in previous agreement they are not willing to pay infact i offered more than 25percent less than market rate..the same property has one more tenant which is occupying 1st floor and is paying me now Rs80 per sq ft in same building..while cesc is in ground floor and i have offered Rs 80 for ground floor too but they are saying it would be based on last price which we paid that is Rs8 and at maximum we can double it and when i said it is against clause and if you dont want to stay you may leave then reply is cesc was and will be there at any cost ..what should be done as they are showing their name power and harrasing me..Is name above law?

The property is under tenancy from 1979 for 20 years that is till 1999 ..after this period got over the said tenancy agreement was renewd for further 20 years that is from 1999 to 2019 but with a clause that if cesc is willing to stay at the property then we have to again renew the tenancy agreement but that would be done on market rate prevailing in the locality at that point of time..this clause is mentioned in agreement .
But now they are saying we can increase rent as per last rent we paid and not according to the market ..as we are utility company and is dealing in power distribution hence we cannot pay market rate instead we can increase rent to 13 rs per sq ft as last rent was 8.94 rs per sq ft .. but market rate in locality is 135 approx and we have offered 86 rs per sq ft ..
They had a meeting organised and openly said cesc cant be removed at any cost if cesc was there then it will be in future and no law can remove us.
If legal action is taken we will cut power supply of your building ..
Please help what needs to be done
