Transfer of ownership in Pagdi system
My grandfather bought 180 sq ft house in mumbai in year 1983 ,which comes under pagdi system.
My grandfather expired 10 years back, as per law the legal heir (my father) will be the owner of the house... same was communicated to the landlord, but till date the landlord is demanding huge amount for tansfer of the name of the property on my fathers name.
till 2010 we have paid the rent by cheque, and the old landlord gave us the rent receipts Post 2010 the old landlord sold the property & the new landlord is not ready to accept the rent nor giving the rent receipt
I just wanted to know
1. how important is the rent receipt to prove the ownership of the house.
2. Is it possible that we will be thrown out of the house since he is not accepting rent where in the property was bought by my grandfather, yes we have maintain all the rent receipt, tell phone bills, electricity bills , ration card, duly paid till date.
3.How difficult it will be to approach court and get the ownership of the house.
