Landlord is refusing to add any name .Secondly if I want sell the property, how do I sell , as landlord is givng me peanuts , is any legal way to sell
Latest Answer: I agreed with Viabhav. The landlord has misled you by saying that you need to pay 33% of the market value of the property to have the name transferred.The transfer charges are very nominal. The amount equivalent to 33% of the market value of the property is required to be aid by you only in the event you propose to sell the property and not otherwise.

Q:Hello,I have rented a 1 bedroom flat in Mumbai and signed 11 month leave and license agreement. There is no lock-in period and the agreement clearly states that, both parties can terminate the agreement by giving 1 month advanced notice. Does this mean I can terminate my agreement in 5 months by giving notice in 4th month. Appreciate your response. Thanks....Ritesh
Latest Answer: Hi All,
This kind of agreement is specific to the city of Mumbai where owner prefer to use this agreement rather than a standard Tenancy or Lease Agreement in order to save on the Stamp Duty and registration charges. A Leave & License agreement is usually for a period of 36 months.
