Many such cases are heard in the country where the tenant refuses to vacate the house. His reasoning behind this is that he has been living in this house for a long time. There are many such cases. But the question is whether the tenant actually lives in the same house for a long time or for 10 years, then he has the right to vacate the house. The Limitation Act 1963 says a lot about this. So let’s understand this.
Generally, no tenant can have any right on the property of the landlord. But in some circumstances the tenant can assert his rights over the house if he wishes. According to the Adverse Possession of Transfer of Property Act, a tenant has the right to sell the property if he has been living and occupying a property for 12 years or more.
If a tenant has adverse possession of the house, he is considered the owner of the property. Taking property in this way is called adverse possession. However, the landlord can take it to court. According to the Limitation Act 1963, the statutory period of limitation on personal immovable property is 12 years. This period starts from the day of possession. Accordingly, the rule goes in favor of the tenant.
The conditions for adverse possession are quite strict. But a small mistake by the landlord can put his property in dispute. Therefore, the most important thing is to enter into a tenancy agreement with your landlord before renting out a house, shop or land.
The rental agreement is for 11 months only. Therefore keep making it every 11 months. If you do this, you will have proof that you have rented out your property to someone else. No one else is in possession of your property.
