can I get advise for the above

Kishor Mehta (CEO) 27 November 2018

In Maharashtra in a pagdi system tenancy you are only a tenant and have rights of residence only. All direct blood relatives of the tenant can reside at the property. The landlord may or may not agree to change the name on the rent receipt, you should not agree to pay anything for the change of name on the rent receipt. Your tenancy rights are protected under the Maharashtra Rent Act 1999 even if the name on the rent receipt is not changed. You will be well advised to preserve all the evidences of your stay at the property.

Hi Kishor Sir ,

Thanks for the valuable advise. From the above sentences it means the property cannot be sold by the person staying in padgi house even if the house is in name of father ?
