if landlord refuses to accept rent for 11 months then file suit for declaration as tenant and deposit rent arrears of 11 months in court .

by the way what were you doing for 20 years? you have been extrmely negligent .

if you fail to pay rent tomorrow landlord can file suit for eviction against you for non payment of rent .

Under Section 27 of DRC Act rent accrued can be deposited in the court for the period of "refused by landlord".
Earlier is better to avoid eviction.

Dear Sirs, Thanks for your reply..

but sir, the landlord is a charity institution like any temple/Gurudwara and tenent is occupying that premises for the last 40 years and first 20 years that institution issued a proper rent receipt to the tenent and after 20 years they have issued donetion receipt instead of rent receipt and last year they said they want that premsies get vacent by issuing two genral letters as they themself want to use that place for the purpose of Kirya/Rasam Pagri, and the electricity and water bill is in the name of tenent. even having a police and mcd licence also. tenent is 82 years old and illetrate.

Is there any relief/way to save the tenent because landlord is a chariety istitution, using public money, for all purpose even in case of any litigation and tenent will have to spent his own money.

Please note as per my informaiton the landlord issued a donation receipt by making excuse to the tenent that they have to pay too much property tax if they show that premises is on rent .

please tell me my defence and remedy ...

anxiously awaiting for your kind reply.

According to law, if the landlord refused to accept the Money Order, it is equal to he received that, and u/s 134 Evidence act, the Judge can make any finding.

My humble advice is,better search another place at the earliest, because the Judges are also superstitious. On the previous day or same day of hearing if the judge had any bad omen/ night mare, the credit will go to your landlord temple and you will find problems of costs, strictures etc.

Even otherwise, organizations are not individual landlords, who can be harassed with "i will never vacate, if you want you vacate and go away" slogans.
