Dear Friends
We are a team of 25 households who stay in a cessed building(constructed before 1940) it a trust property.
Also since 1978 the owner has stopped taking rent from any of us.
hence does it mean that we are not recognised as legal tenants ?
All the current residents here are living in this building for more that 50 years.
Now since thee is a redevelopment discussions happening around the area do we have any right to get homes in the same property on owner ship basis ?
Also if there is a redevelopment happening what should be the minimum area of a house and what are the other expenses which we can legally demand from the builder ?
thanks
mayank

Your rights are intact. It is to be discussed with the landlord how much share is to be given to you. Generally 1/3 share remains with the owner and 2/3 with the tenants rest depends.
