We are staying in the property of Pagdi system for more than 50 years. Landlord is not providing us the break up of our rent which we are paying. Also he is not providing us the rent receipts against the payment made by us. Recently he has told that there previous outstanding which we need to pay we are not even aware about his calculations on what basis he is asking us. Please guide me
Tenants in a Pagdi system property for over 50 years are facing issues with their landlord not providing rent break-ups or receipts. The landlord is also claiming previous outstanding rent without explanation. It's advised to formally request these details in writing, preferably through a lawyer, and consider paying rent via cheque for a clear record. Consulting a local legal professional is recommended for personalised advice and action.

Did you ever demanded rent receipt ? What is the reason for non-issuance of receipt ? Are you the only such tenant in the demised property owned by the that landlord ? What is the mode of payment of rent i.e., cash, bank, transfer, deposit etc. ? Incomplete and vague information can not lead to form proper opinion and oblige. It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts / documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

You may write to him, preferably through a lawyer, bringing the facts on record.

If he is not giving the breakup of the rental amounts paid by you, you may dzmend the same in writing. If he is not in the habit of issuing receipts for the rental amount, y0ou may make the payments by cheques so that you can keep an account of the monthly rental paid to him which cannot be denied by him at a later stage too.
