Dear Sir / Madam,

A tenant remains a tenant till such time as the tenant purchases the property outright from the landlord (owner of the house). The concerned authorities cannot change the name unless and until all the underlying procedures are completed. So, by your query, the tenant is trying to misuse the payment receipt, and it is not the other way around. No Court can issue directives to the concerned authorities to change the name of user.

Regards,
