        Hello, I have inherited a house in very centre of the city, the house has a shop of around 750sq ft.

        From all the documents I have, I confirm it is not a pagdi system.

        We had Mr. X as tenant in 1943, Mr. X give this to Mr. Y who is his nephew in 1954. Now there is brother in law of Mr. Y’s son who sits.

        The rent that we lastly collected was 140 ruppes per month, that too in 2016, since then the tenant has not even paid nor asked to pay. I do have the receipt since 1954.

        He has made changes and increased the strength of the inner walls of the shop.

        Since we don’t live there he, the tenants is acting like asshole, shows no respect nor he cares even if we are there.

        Is it possible to evacuate him or ask him to pay the rent as per today’s market value which is around 2 lakhs per month.

        Cheers and Thank you.

          I would sell that shop and move on.

          If you’re not there and are not able to take a stern stand for now, selling is an easier option rather than fighting a court case for years or decades.

              The tenant is not going to allow me to sell so easily. Infact, the tenant will be the person to ask to buy the entire house.

              There is no document that says if it is pagdi system or no. The level of rent and the age of the rental suggest that this is indeed a pagdi property. Unless u can a hold of the original rent agreement

                    I do have it the original renatal agreement under Mr. Xs name but he asked us back then to collect rents from Mr. Y and since onwards we are issuing rent receipts to Mr. Y.
