Can society accept rent from tenant without lease agreement?

A person in our society has rented a flat to a foundation. The ownership is being disputed by the owner's sisters, and the lease agreement has not been submitted to the society. Can the society legally accept maintenance charges directly from the foundation?

Yes, the society can accept maintenance charges from the foundation. However, it's better to request the lease copy to avoid legal disputes. If ownership is under question, society should collect dues but not get involved in ownership conflicts. A legal notice to the flat owner requesting documents may help.
