mom sent me a legal notice to vacate her flat
I'm a 28F living in Bangalore in a flat owned by my mother. I've been staying here for the last four years without paying rent, although I do pay the maintenance charges and have spent my own money on the interiors.
Recently, my mother sent me a legal notice asking me to vacate the flat. I intend to leave, but I wanted to know whether she can legally do this even though I've invested money in the property.
She has also sent a legal notice to my boyfriend demanding rent for the two years he stayed here, claiming he owes around 15 lakh. There was never any rent agreement. I believe this is being done to harass us and pressure me into ending my relationship, as my parents strongly oppose my boyfriend and don't want me to marry him.
On top of this, my parents want me to sign a declaration stating that if I marry my boyfriend against their wishes then
\- They will not be responsible for me in any way.
\- If anything happens to me in the future, they will have no liability.
\- If my boyfriend or his family ever demand money for any rituals or expenses, my parents will have no obligation to pay anything.
\- They will disown me if I choose to marry him against their wishes.
I feel this declaration is being used purely as a means of pressuring me into breaking up with my boyfriend.
Does the money I spent on interiors give me any legal rights or claim? And Can my mother legally recover two years' rent from my boyfriend when there was never any rent agreement?
I'm planning to consult a lawyer, but I'd appreciate some general legal guidance before I do.
