Dear Sir, We are tenants for the last 40years. In July 2006 there was heavy leakage from the roof due to rains. We had to shift and stay on rent in another place nearby. Simultaneously other tenants staying on the top floor (beside us) also shifted since the building was in very bad shape due to heavy leakage. The landlord then filed eviction case in Thane Court against us. The case is come up for cross examination. Can we change the lawyer since the lawyer says our case is weak and we will lose all tenancy rights if the building collapses. One gallery of one of the flats has fallen and now nobody is residing in the building though the building is standing leakage still continues. Please inform whether we will lose our tenancy rights if the building collapses due to natural calamity - heavy rains. Meanwhile one builder has approached us through the lawyer for a settlement. Can he purchase our tenancy right? Is this legal? Kindly guide us.
