Hi sir,

I am a tenant with a shop(ground floor) since 40+years in Nagpur(m.s.).The property also have a first floor which is also rented around 25 years.Some days ago i got a shocking news that the property has been sold to the person at first floor @ half price of market rate without acknowedging us.And above all even after the great benefit of the new owner which is at first floor now saying that i will evacuate u anyhow (e.g. - i will try to break the property by first floor & u will be forced OR make some legal papers that age of property is over now).The age of propery is not that much bad so ideally it can survive more than 15 years.please advise what shall be done for my best ???

Its horrible how can someone snatch our only source of bread & butter.Please advise is there anyway i can stop the legal prcedure for the transfer of property legally which is yet to complete.The old owner is still accepting rent.How shall i pay the rent next ?? And Shall i make a complaint to Sub Divisional Magistrate for the enforcement by new owner to evacuate the property.Please advise i am very tensed.

You can always/immediately lodge a complaint with the Commissioner/SSP of your city, seeking help, requesting that the new owner or the owner to be must be warned not to tamper with the rented premises as you are legally in occupation of the GF property for 4 decades. You can also file suit before the Rent Controller/Judicial Magistrate in Court and get stay
