Key Points:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The landlord <\/a>must be competent to contract,that is of the age of majority and possess a sound mind. A minor cannot grant lease as per Indian Contract Act. However, the guardian of a minor may grant such lease, without the court\u2019s permission, for a period not exceeding five years or lasting for more than one year after the minor turns major. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A lessor\u2019s most crucial right is to transfer the possession of the property to the tenant. His authority cannot be questionable. Such \u2018authority\u2019 either stems from the ownership of the property, or from having the possession of the property<\/a>. Since a lease is only the transfer of the possession of a property, thus it is not mandatory that the lessor be the owner of the property. A subsequent lease granted by a lessee is referred to as a sub-lease, or derivative lease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you. Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any latent material fact shall be disclosed by the landlord to the tenant before transferring the possession of the property. Latent defect is the defect which is not apparently visible but the landlord has complete knowledge of the same. Tenants shall clear all the terms of possession regarding the latent defects beforehand only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlords<\/a> shall do an agreement with the tenant before transferring the possession of the property and after the agreement is signed it becomes the obligation of the landlord to transfer the possession to the tenant<\/a>. Tenants can even sue the landlord in the event the landlord fails to provide the possession after the agreement is executed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quiet enjoyment refers to no objection by the landlord. It is the implied duty of the landlord to ensure the tenant is enjoying his peaceful right and the tenant is protected from any kind of disturbance. Hence, if any action is required against the trespasser tenant shall take the action for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amongst all the duties and liabilities, the Landlord is often advised to get his Lease Deed registered, the same asserts the legal authenticity of that particular document and prevents both Parties to escape from respective liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeed A Legal Advice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
