Also to appraise that our earlier rent bill was in the name of our shop i.e. M/s XXXXXXXX ------ C/o/ Grandmothers name and address of the shop room. Now having been advised by my mom I am (sole child of my parents ) wanting to deposit the rent in my name i.e. M/s XXXXX -- C/o my name and address of shop. in the rent control. Kindly help.

you can file an application in the court for declaration that your father is civily dead ,if he is missing and anybody have not heard anything about him from last seven years (from date of missing).you can further proceed on the verge of this declaration from court. for all succession purposes including inheritance of the tenancy rights. all the best.

I have a tenant at my premises lived since 1979. The tenancy was started 1.9.1979 by my father for one short hight single room for Rs.100/ only monthly rent basis. The tenant not increase the rent as per normally because the clause of rent increase not mentioned in the agreement. After many argument the tenant increase the rent only Rs. 10/ and there after Rs.20/- 30/- every five years (not fixed). Now the tenant pay to me rent Rs. 300/- only per month. In the mean time my father was expired on 08.06.2010. This rent is continue running up to June 2013. My tenant head of the family was expired on 27.6.2013. In the agreement wise my father issued the rent bill his name but when he expired then I not issue the same. I told his family that I have require the room a long years ago. Because presently I live a rented room another area. I am a simple man and working at a small unit. My rent is very high and as per agreement it is higher to higher this is impossible for me to track the rent. My mother is 60 years old and she lived in the premises on the 2nd floor alone. Doctor said Mother is very high pressure and do not upstair and downstair. So I told to my tenant my mother is a serious condition plus I have require the room for staying with my family. But the tenant is still and do not any steps. In the circumstances I issue a legal notice by my law year on August 2013 for clause of 'REQUIREMENT OF ROOM". The rent is not given to direct from july 2013 alongwith current consumption charges. I said current consumption charges is continue pay to me that the CESC bill paid to every month. But the tenant no heard any word. They said they are deposit amount to Rent control. Now my question is how it is possible to deposit rent with current consumption charges to rent control. Rent is one part and current consumption charges is another part. My father issued the rent receipt Rs. 300/- only rent for the month of i.e. month and back side of the receipt electric consumption charges as per point wise Rs. 450/- only. This is clearly mentioned the receipt how is rent and how electric consumption charges.

In this situation I request you to kindly let me know how many amount presently they are deposit to the rent control and how to process its withdrawl because CESC bill is due from July 2013. After six months CESC cut the power and meter band if I not pay their dues. So therefore my heartiest request please suggest to me and how recover the case. KINDLY HELP.
