Do you want to know whether the transferee of lessor liable to return the deposit to the tenant on vacation of premises? In the context of property rentals, the transferee of the lessor (i.e., the new owner or landlord) is generally not directly responsible for returning the security deposit to the tenant upon vacation of the premises. 

Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Original Lessor (Landlord): The original landlord (lessor) who entered into the rental agreement with the tenant is primarily responsible for handling the security deposit. When the tenant vacates the property, the original lessor must return the deposit after deducting any legitimate charges (such as repairs, unpaid rent, or damages).

  2. Transfer of Ownership: If the property changes ownership (e.g., through sale or inheritance), the new owner (transferee) steps into the shoes of the original lessor. However, the security deposit remains with the original lessor until the end of the tenancy.

  3. Communication and Documentation: The new owner (transferee) should be informed about the existing rental agreement, including the security deposit details. Proper documentation is essential to ensure a smooth transition. The tenant should be notified of the change in ownership and provided with the necessary contact information for the new owner.

  4. Returning the Deposit: When the tenant decides to vacate, the new owner (transferee) should coordinate with the original lessor to return the security deposit. The original lessor remains legally responsible for the deposit until it is returned to the tenant.

  5. Joint Responsibility: In some cases, the original lessor and the new owner (transferee) may work together to handle the deposit return process. However, the ultimate re

    sponsibility lies with the original lessor.

I hope this helps!

Dear Sir, I along with my wife have entered into a sale agreement with a construction company to purchase a flat in Guwahati. In this case, I want my wife to be the sole owner of the flat. I would like to know that if the sale agreement is jointly registered, will I be able to register the sale deed solely in my wife's name? If so, then please let me know. I have purchased 2 Kanal land. The deed was completed and the mutation was completed. I mortgaged the land to the bank and obtained a housing loan. The construction plan got approved from municipal committee verification and was completed by the revenue authority. Mortgage papers were endorsed in the revenue record with information to the bank in writing and attestation of Tehsildar. After liquidation of bank loan, I approached revenue staff, who informed me that instead of 2 Kanal only 0.5 Kanal exists in my name in Khasra Girdawari register. Is it possible? What is the remedy?
