Dear Sir / Madam,

You have sufficient evidence to prove that you are a bonafide tenant of the house even though the landlord is issuing the rent receipt in the name of your uncle. Moreover, the landlord (owner) has given you permission (tacit approval) to renovate the damaged premises, recognizing your legal right to reside in the property. You should accordingly reply to the legal notice and forward a copy of the reply to your landlord, with :

1. Self attested true copies of your father's and mother's Death Certificate :

2. A request letter that the rent receipts should be issued in your name.

Regards,
