This query is : Resolved
My mothers passed away recently. She wanted to rent the place to a tenant from next month but the agreement paperwork was not signed. My sister and I are nominees for the house property. Can we do a lease agreement with this tenant?

After the intestate demise of a person property is inherited by his / her legal heirs. Society generally transfer property to registered nominees in their record. Nominee is not the absolute owner.
Nominee can enter into a rent agreement if society has transferred the property in their name.

You and your sister are only nominees. As your mother expired, you both are the legal heirs of the house. So get the legal heir certificate and get your names entered into society records. For rental agreement/lease agreement shall be signed by you and your sister as owners of the house and tenant as lesseee.

Yes is the sole answer to your query. Even there is no requirement to be owner of the property for the tenancy/lease rather a landlord can also do it, however, now you both are owners in possession of the said property.

I agree with experts advise, you can execute a rent agreement for the intestate property left by your mother, even as a nominee .

Before signing such document, it is better to get it approved from your lawyer to find out whether your interest is protected.

Hello,
You are a nominee in society share certificate therefore you can let out the flat to tenant. You have to transfer the flat in your name in society share certificate.
