The small cause’s court has fixed a fair rent of 3,50,000 and the arrears due to landlord is more than one crore,
I want to know what is the rent recovery laws and procedure and how serious they are
if the landlord wins the present case and goes for a executive petition/civil suite for recovery of fair rent arrears,
Will they attach my bank accounts?
Will they attach moveable assets like electronic items and personal stuff from home too
We do not have any property will they able to attach my wife property too.
Under this civil suite is there any chance of imprisonment
Please I do need a professional advice as every lawyer has a conflicting views on this subject
Here are more details about the case if you have time to answer my other concerns
me and my brother are tenants in this commercial property in Chennai for past 3 decades, 3 years back the land lord had opened a 2 cases against us property evection and demolition and other case was on fair rent,
Last month they landlord had won both the cases in small causes court the present rent we are paying is 25,000 rs per month and the fair rent is fixed for 3,50,000 per month by the small causes court, the present rent arrears is one crore plus, so we had to go for further appeal.
I am willing to go for the compromise but my brother wants to contest this case further, I tried to convince him since the fair rent fixed is beyond our imagination, even if we bring it down by half we are not in a position to pay them in any way, I want to come out of this case but it seems I cannot take my name out of this unless my brother is ready to had over the possession,
Will appreciate if you can give me advice as how to come out of this problem ?
