Quick Summary

A tenant has issued a legal notice claiming a large sum for renovations based on a 24-year-old oral agreement. The claimant has not provided details of expenses, and the amount appears inflated. The notice seems to be a tactic to avoid addressing the landlord's previous queries about unauthorised pipe laying. The landlord is seeking advice on how to counter the baseless claims, challenge the notice, and deal with the tenant's advocate not acknowledging receipt of registered post.

If he demanded the repayment of the said amount, you may issue a reply notice denying his demands stating it as false claim.
Let him approach court where you can challenge the same on merits in your side.

I have replied and asked tenant and advocate to withdraw legal notice and resume rent payment but he has not done so. Though I have 3 letters each(To tenant as well as advocate)written by my advocate through RPAD,I have not received AD slips,though website of postal department shows that letters have been delivered. I have been told that this is very old trick,defendent usually say that they have not received RPADs and courts routinely accept it. How to counter this?
