Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

I am 75 yrs old tenant living in kolkata. a new landlord has purchased the property 06 years back but has not issued any letters in terms of the purchase of property as such i am depositing my rent in rent control office . the kmc records clearly states the name of a new landlord but officially both the old and new landlords have not issued any letters from their sides, now the roof and other portion of the building is leaking and getting damaged in case of any incidence who will be held responsible. as far as i know as per law it is compulsory for the persons to inform the tenants but in case it is done intentionally what should i do ?.the building is slowly becoming unfit for living due to non maintenance.please advice what should i do to make the new landlord come in front.
