Hi

It appears that the present land lord does want to any of the tenant to claim  any rights under Pagdi system as Pagdi system is detrimental to his ownership claims. 

Since the building is more than 100 years old, the land lord may soon move MHADA and obtain demolition orders and thereof as the tenants to vacate the building.

So, as a tenant claiming pagdi rights, you keep records of all rent paid receipts and also refused money orders safe and in custody so that whenever the land lord comes with any demolition order, you can challenge the same.

In law, the land lord should pay you substantial monies in case he wants you to vacate the building or demolish the building and build new ones upon it.

Hope this information is useful. 

Landlord want to the eviction of tenants 

- Since, the said landlord is not receiving the rent ,it shows that he is planning to file an eviction suit on the ground of non payment of rent . 

- You should file a petition before the Rent controller for depositing the rent . 

- Further , you can also file a  Permanent Injunction suit against the landlord for restraining him to take possession from you forcibly. 

1. If he is not taking rent then let him not take it. You continue to remain in possession of the property.

2. I cannot speculate why he is not accepting the rent.

You can deposit the same in the court by making an application to do so.

Your landlord is trying to build a Base for himself to file an eviction suit against you on the ground that you have stopped paying rent to him and may allege many other false grounds for eviction against you

Keep sending the rent through MO and keep the record of the returned MO.

You can also address a letter asking the owner to furnish his bank account details to enable you to deposit rent in to his account.

Check his availability.

He might have gone abroad, or transferred it to some other person etc.

1. It is landlord choice that he is not taking rents from all the tenants.

2. You can keep the records that you tried to pay rent several times but it was refused by landlord for some unknown reasons. In case some dispute arise in future due to non payment of rents. 

So you had remained silent after few attempts to pay the rent by MO failed.

Why did you not take further steps to pay the rent  by issuing a legal notice to him and after that to approach court to accept the rent in the court deposit.

Even now you can approach the rent control court for permission to deposit the rental amount with the court regularly.

The landlord can prove before court tht you are willful defaulter  and to evict you for that reason.

You can consult your advocate and take a quick decision.

Well this is absurd. Try to meet him and talk to him. What does he want??

I haven't heard of any landlord who doesn't take rent. He may not be taking rent because he may be doing this as charity.
