• Registered lease agreement

We are three partners Mr. Ramesh, Mr. Kiran & Ms. Kavitha leased out our combined (undivided ) property (8 acres of land with 50k sft building) to a Trust which runs a school in our property for 30 years. We registered the lease deed as well in our local sub registrar office. 

Now, Ms. Kavitha sold her share to Mr. Anil Reddy. Now the question is, what should we do to remove Ms. Kavitha from the registered lease deed and add the new owner Mr. Anil Reddy to our registered lease deed?

You can't include her in already registered lease deed. You need to include her with new lease after expiry or through a supplementary lease deed

When the type of co-ownership is not specifically stated, by default a tenancy in common is likely to exist. Each tenant in common has a separate fractional interest in the entire property. Although each tenant in common has a separate interest in the property, each may possess and use the whole property. 

Each tenant in common may freely transfer his/her interest in the property.

Section 7 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 provides that every person competent to contract i.e. a major and of sound mind or is not disqualified by law for contracting. Therefore even the interest of a co-owner or co-sharer can be sold, mortgaged, leased to another co-sharer or to a stranger. The fact that the partition has not taken place by metes and bounds , does not stand in the way of the interest of a co-owner.

Thus in the given context, since the co-owner has sold her undivided share in the property to the prospective buyer, a supplementary lease agreement may be executed incorporating or facilitating the new buyer name in the subsisting the registered lease agreement provided the lessee is agreeing for this arrangement or the lease agreement may be mutually cancelled and a fresh lease agreement may be entered into.

The purpose of supplementary lease deed would be to include the new owner  to enter into the existing lease agreement for the remaining lease period and also tjo exclude one of the existing co-owners from the lease deed as she had already sold her share in the  proeprty to the new incumbent

The lease property's changed ownership means that a supplementary lease deed needs to be executed with the signatures of all the co-owners.
