We were employed with a business group and were given quaters in their buildings owned by the Public Charitable Trust and have been ocupying the alloted flats till now. The trust has sold the buildings to builders and we are being pressursed to vacat the premises for which monthly rent was deducted by the employer from our salary. We however were not given any receipt for the same.
Pl. advice if we can claim to be deemed tenants under Rent Control Act and if so procedure for the same. We are senior citizens and need your help.

You are in the possession of the property. If the landlord wants to evict you, they have to follow the procedures of Rent Control Act only. If the court directs you can deposit the rent in court itself.
Ask your employer to produce the receipts given by the landlord.
