Rent act kolkata
Vishal

This query is : Resolved
The Flat was in the name of Mrs A who died in 1991. From then onwards hier legal heirs are residing in the said flat. However no name transfer was done. (Note that tenancy was acquired in Pagdi syatem). The rent act was ammended in 2001 giving a time period of 5 yearsto legal heirs for transfer of name. Now we have received a letter from land lord that they are under no obligation to transfer name in the name of Legal heir.
Q 1. Does acceptance of rent from 1991 till 2016 create contract between Landlord and tenant and he is obliged to transfer name ? Q 2. Is there any provision of deemed tenancy. Q 3. Does pagdi syatem has any legal significance Q4. Landlord already knew of the death of tenant. and he kept silent for all these years. Does it make a difference Please
