Dear client based on your question, In many jurisdictions , tenants occupying a property for an extended period gain additional rights, especially if rent was consistently offered but refused by the landlord. For this matter you need a legal expert who can review your case .

Well, if the owner wants his flat back for his bonafide use, then, he will file a case in Court under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act to get you evicted, considering, you are not the owner, you are the Lessee in the flat.
