Dear Sirs,
My late father and two other partners owned a Office Premises at Mumbai(Maharashtra) since 1975 as a tenant. Rent receipt has been issued in the name of Firm (consist of 3 partners) as per the records of the landlord. My father expired in 1986. Thereafter, the business has been carrying on by remaining 2 partners keeping the name of my father intact in the rent receipt. During 1996, the said firm has been dissolved and all the assets of the firm has been distributed amongst 3 partners and as per the understanding between all, the said office premises has been given to my late father. Hence, my late father becomes the sole owner(tenant) of the said office premises. However till now, the rent receipt has been issued in the name of the same firm (consist of 3 partners including my father) as none of my family members has made any efforts to get the name on rent receipt changed by presenting the documents to landlord. Sir, I want to know that as a married daughter and one of the heir of my late father, shall I have any right of share in the said office premises. If yes, how can I proceed further if my Bothers-Sisters-Mother does not co-operate me in the matter. I had a meeting with landlord and he expresses his view that he will act as per the Hindu Succession Act & Rent Control Act,whenever anybody approach him. We are 5 Brother-Sisters and Mother in our family. My father has not made any WILL
Requesting for your advise in the matter.
Thanking You.

You shall have to file a Title Suit for declaration that you are a co-sharer of rented office space of your deceased father..

I think that for claiming any right in the partnership firm,someone required tobe inducted in the firm.Since this is not done all heirs of deceased partner are co-tenant.
