TO (hereinafter called "the Tenant"):
Vikramjit Sharma, son of Shri Om Prakash Sharma,
of Shop No. 7, Ground Floor, Chandigarh Road, Kharar, District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Punjab 140301,
being the tenant in occupation of the premises described in the
Schedule of Premises at the foot of this notice.
TAKE NOTICE as follows.
- THE LANDLORD, AND THE CAPACITY IN WHICH THIS NOTICE IS GIVEN.
The Landlord is the sole owner of the premises and the person entitled to receive the rent thereof on the Landlord's own account, and is accordingly the person
competent to demand and receive the rent of the premises and to give
this notice.
This notice is signed and given on behalf of the Landlord by Advocate Ramanpreet Kaur Gill, who is duly authorised in that behalf by General Power of Attorney dated 12 February 2024, registered as document No. 3417 in Book No. IV at the office of the Sub-Registrar, Mohali. The instrument or instruction constituting that authority is held by the Landlord and will be produced before the Rent Authority if required.
- THE PREMISES.
The premises to which this notice relates are those described in the
Schedule of Premises at the foot of this notice, situated at
Shop No. 7, Ground Floor, Sethi Complex, Chandigarh Road, Kharar, District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Punjab 140301. The premises fall within the local limits of
Municipal Council, Kharar, District Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar (Mohali), Punjab, and are
therefore situated in an urban area within the meaning of section
2(o) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995. The premises are
residential premises.
- THE TENANCY, AND THE ACT WHICH GOVERNS IT.
The premises were let by the Landlord to the Tenant with effect from
1 April 2026. That date is on or after 30 November 2013, being the date with effect from which the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 came into force, and the Landlord is not a Non-Resident Indian. The tenancy is accordingly governed by the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 and not by the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, which stands repealed in Punjab and which the repeal and savings provision of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 — section 76(2) of the substituted text, numbered section 75 before substitution — saves only for premises let out before commencement that are not owned by a Non-Resident Indian.
As to the exemption of newly constructed premises in section 3(1)(c)
of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, the Landlord says that
the premises were constructed and completed before 30 November 2013, so that the exemption in section 3(1)(c) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, which reaches only premises constructed on or after that date, does not touch this letting.
The tenancy is evidenced by an agreement in writing dated 2 April 2026, made as required by section 4(1) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995. The said agreement was registered under section 4(2) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 in the office of the Sub-Registrar of the sub-district in which the premises are situated.
The registration particulars of the said agreement are: document No. 1892, Book No. I, Volume 214, Pages 61 to 68, registered on 30 March 2021 in the office of the Sub-Registrar, Kharar.
The Tenant remains in possession of the premises as tenant and has
at no time surrendered possession to the Landlord.
- THE RENT AND THE OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE.
The rent payable by the Tenant for the premises is
₹18,000 (Rupees Eighteen Thousand only) per month, payable in advance, on or before the first day of each English calendar month.
In addition to rent, the Tenant is liable under the tenancy to pay the following other charges, namely Municipal property tax for the financial year 2025-26 amounting to Rs. 4,200 payable by the Tenant under clause 6 of the tenancy agreement, and proportionate common area maintenance charges for the period April 2026 to August 2026 at Rs. 640 per month amounting to Rs. 3,200.
- THE DEFAULT.
The Tenant has neither paid nor tendered to the Landlord the rent and
the other charges payable for 5 consecutive months,
being the period from 3 April 2026 to 5 April 2026, although
the same are legally recoverable from the Tenant and although each
instalment fell due in advance, on or before the first day of each English calendar month. The default is continuing as at
the date of this notice.
The last payment received by the Landlord from the Tenant on account of rent was a sum of ₹18,000 (Rupees Eighteen Thousand only) received on 4 April 2026, which sum has been appropriated towards the earliest rent then outstanding. Nothing whatsoever has been paid or tendered since that date.
The Landlord has previously called upon the Tenant to pay, as follows: Reminder letter sent by ordinary post on 12 May 2026; WhatsApp messages of 3 June 2026 and 19 July 2026, both delivered and read; and an oral demand made at the premises on 2 August 2026 in the presence of the adjoining shopkeeper. Those earlier communications were reminders only and are not relied upon as, and do not take the place of, the statutory notice now given under section 20(2)(a) of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995.
