legal heirs of Hindu fall under following categories
1) class I
2) class 2
3) Agnates
4) cognates
If Hindu does not leave behind any class 1or class 2 legal heirs oragnates or cognates then property lapses to the government
4) even if owner does not have immediate relatives his property would devolve on his distant relatives
Since landlord is not there you are relived of the dispute if the landlord later raises on future of tenancy.
Anyway get the tenancy be transferred in your name.'Then offer rent to the second class lega heri of the landlord.
If there is none then deposit rent to rent controller office.
Under Maharashtra Rent control Act, when tenant dies, any member of the tenant's family is residing with tenant at the time of his death will be entitled to the tenancy right in preference to other heirs who were not residing with the tenant at the time of his death. In absence of such member all the heirs will be entitled to the tenancy right. Therefore if your case comes under the said act, you will be entitled to the tenancy right. There is no necessity to make any legal arrangement.
If the owner of the proerty died and there is nobody to claim rent or to issue rent receipt, you may deposit the rent in the court to establish the continuance of tenancy as well as to make sure that there is no default in rental payment.
