Dear Sukumar,

Since your father is deceased, the landlord is legally bound to transfer the tenancy in the name of your mother, and issue rent receipts mentioning the revised rent amounts in her name for all the pending months.

Please write a letter to your landlord asking him to comply with the above two requirements within the next 15 days, failing which you will report the matter to the local Police Station.

Please feel free to mail me for any further on-line legal advice at [email protected]
