One of my friend is taking up a shop on lease in Mumbai suburbs however he had couple of queries. Requesting senior members here to please reply.
1 - The shop is owned by two people (partners) however my friend was only able to meet the other partner. and the partner says he has power of attorney and will be doing paperwork on his partner's behalf. So what steps can my friend take in order to secure himself from a fraud?
2 - The owner is not willing to share any document before giving the token
3 - Shop is divided into two parts (For example 600sqft shop is divided into 300sqft each) and only one part is being leased to my friend, the lease agreement will be of 300sqft, owner is also willing to register the lease agreement. However the property agreement is of 600sqft. Is this legal?
