This query is : Resolved
I am a tenant of a office for 25 years through valid written Rent and paying rent regularly. about 3 years back, land lord not came to collect the rent, I send the cheque on his residential address, which was returned as Left. Thereafter a notice from new man received by me that he has purchased the building and asked to vacate the premises. I though my advocate replied and requested to produce the documents that he has actually purchased the premises so that we may proceed further. The old land lord not intimated that he has sold out the property and he is also not traceable. What I should do so that in future new/old land lord can not harrase me for non-payment of rent. I am ready to pay the rent but whom to pay.

your old landlord should have intimated you in writing that he has sold the premises .
you have already replied to notice issued by new landlord and requested him to produce documents to show that he is bonafide purchaser of property . since new landlord has failed to reply you can file declaratory suit that you are tenant of premises and deposit rent in court

You have to file a petition before the rent controller for deposit of rent.
