1. IF you have documentary evidence of the Rent sent by money order and refusal remark, THEN you can seek help (declaration order) from the local Civil Court via a declaration suit and deposit Rent in court.

2. AFTER above procedures, NOBODY can evict you or stop you from doing any legitimate business.

Continue business, Tenant cannot be evicted without following due course of law. Send him legal notice, mention his refusal to accept money order and demand his account no. and pay rent receipt.

If he do not respond,no problem, keep using the shop and deposit rent every month in some account.

She can eviction suit on the ground of bonafide requirement. Refusal to accept rent - no benefit.

If the landlord is refusing to receive the rental amount then you may file a petition before the jurisdictional rent control court seeking permission to deposit the rental amount in the court of law as the landlord is refusing to receive the rent.

The non-payment of rent may be treated as willful default hence liable to be evicted.

Your brother's wife can send a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the premises as the same is required for her own use especially after the demise of her husband.

If he fails to vacate then she can file an eviction suit against the tenant

as a landlord, want to take back the property for personal use, you could do so by sending an eviction notice to your tenant. In case your tenant is using the residential property to run a business of their own from the premises, this can call for an eviction.

1. She can continue business if you have given rent to son of land lord. It not your problem if they are not accepting the rent just to show that you are not paying the rent. 

2. If they force you to vacate the premises then you can file suit against forceful dispossession from property.

3. You can complaint to rent controller that landlord is not accepting the rent just to show that you are not paying rent so that they can evict tenant on non payment of rent.
