Hello,

As per your query, your mother in law having a property and her son has without authority given property on a rent basis to his uncle.So your mother in law is owner of property and she can take legal action against the uncle and file petition for possession of property.

If the rent agreement was made after the power of attorney was executed and it was not revoked or modified and there has been no violation of the terms of POA, the agreement will be valid.

Dear Mr Darshan, 

As far as law is oncerned, the son has not done anything wrong there was no need for permission. Once a GPA is executed, the attorney get the rights as mentioned in the GPA. Now assuming, the GPA carried a right to create tenancy, the rent agreement is absolutely valid. 

But if the mother wants the property vacated, then she must cancel the GPA. Then seve notice on the tenant to vacate the premises within the time allotted by the rent agreement. If the tenant does not vacate the premises within the said period, file a rent petition before the rent controller or other competent authority seeking vacation of property.

Contact a local advocate and let him study the powers given to her son by his mother, and if there are violations and malafides in letting the property to his kith and kin, the POA can be canceled and the tenant can be evicted.

Whether the rent agreement is registered during life time of your mother in-law by her son on the strength of PoA  granted to him ?

If your mother in-law is alive she can terminate the agreement as covenented therein.
