Rental property, can tenant staying for long own the rented property
23-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi,
If a tenant staying for 10 yrs or more, can he claim ownership to the rented property. I sign a 11 month agreement and on expiry on 11th month, get into a new agreement again for 11 months.
I would like to safeguard my property and if required can ask tenant to vacate if our law allows tenant to claim ownership to my flat. Also can doing alterations to the flat without intimating landlord give him any ownership rights under law.
Best Regards,
There is a chance to get by adverse position. But should be safe side you can vacate them immediately. If they aware of this there is chance to grab your money by way of compensation. Must be evict them as soon as possible because of ownership. More details contact me thank you

No the tenant cannot claim ownership. Even though the tenant has stayed for more than ten years, the title to the property will still remain undisturbed. In the event the tenant is not vacating, you can file a suit for eviction. Also altering the rented premises without the permission of the owner is a default committed by the tenant and will not give the tenant any right, title or interest in the property
