We have given a flat on leave and license of 11 months to a company in a residential apartment. We have been renewing the same every 11 months for the last ten years. Last time there agreement expired in apr 2014 and my father had already taken a letter from them syaing that they would vacate the flat by may 2014. They have not been payjng the leave and license fees regularly since the last 3.5 years. Meanwhile my father passed away last year in apr 2014 and we started telling them to leave and following up for the pending leave and license fees. They started to pay up gradually and slowly. Meanwhile they also gave us a leter saying that they will vacate the flat by nov 2014 and requesting us to extend the agreement till then which we did. How ever they did not vacate and they stopped paying the rent in dec 2014. We stopped following up for the leave and license fees but started following up continuously for them to vacate. Suddenly now they have given us a letter stating they have had to leave coz its not clear to them as to who the property belongs to now after mh father, s demise and that they are forcefully vacating the flat. However they have claimed the advance rent, brokerage, shifting costs and other misc expenses from us; the amojnt being 5.26 lacs in that letter.
Pl suggest what is our position in thid case and do they have any rights over our property.
