Dear Sir / Madam,

1. With the demise of your father, you should settle the landlord for transfer and issue of the rent receipt in the name of your mother.

2. You can be evicted if and only if the landlord moves proceedings against you in the Court.

3. It can only be done with the landlord's consent in writing.

Regards,
