1. Can any other tenant object or file any case to stop the sale of property to me by landlord ??

If there is no agreement of sale pending between them, they cannot object to this without any valid reason.

2. As the landlord permits me to start occupying other vacant areas , can I start taking possession of vacant premises and roof ?

If the sale agreement permits you to do so, there cannot be any legal infirmity in it.

On what other grounds a tenant can file case or ask for stay order against the prospective landlord ?

No reply can be rendered by predicting his intention

On what grounds , if at all, other tenants can file a case in court for any stay order against the prospective buyer / landlord ???

Their intentions cannot be predicted.

Can one register a property in his favour with schedule of payments going beyond the property registering date ?.

If the vendor agrees to it, then it can be possible.

1. A tenant does not have the right to object to the sale of property by his landlord unless he has a future right in the property. If he has a future right then he may seek a stay order from the court.

2. You are at liberty to take the possession of the property after it is sold to you.

3. The registration of the property can precede the remittance of consideration of the property which is sold.

A tenant can approach the court and seek a stay only under the ground not to forcefully evicted him from the property by the landlord. In the case of sale, Tenant does not have any right to object the sale of the property by the land lord. After purchasing the property you become the absolute owner of the property. So naturally the possession of the property is come up on you.

Can one register a property in his favour with schedule of payments going beyond the property registering date ?.

It depends up on the wish of vendor,talk to him

1. Yes the other tenants can file a case against your said buy since any body has the liberty to file cases but he/she has to prove her ground mentioned in the case,

2. Unless the other tenants claim ownership of the property, they have no right in interfering into its sale and in case the owner of the property changes, they shall have to pay rent to the new owner,

3. If authorised/permitted by the land lord, you can certainly take possession of the property which has not been rented out to the tenants.

1. No. In that case the receipt of consideration is not over to complete the sale contract,

2. In such cases cheque of current date is received but presented on a later date and if agreed by both the parties, fresh cheque is collected.
