Utility News Desk !!! There are many such cases in the country where the tenant refuses to vacate the house. His argument 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 if the tenant really 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 it.

Generally, no tenant can have any right over the landlord's property. But under certain circumstances, the tenant can assert his right over the house if he wants. According to the Adverse Possession of Property Transfer 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 a house, he is considered the owner of the property. Taking the property in this manner 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. In this way, the rule goes in favor of the tenant.

The terms of adverse possession are quite strict. But a small mistake by the landlord can put his property in dispute. So, the most important thing is to make a tenancy agreement with your landlord before renting out a house, shop or land. The rental agreement is only for 11 months. So keep making it every 11 months. If you do this, you will have proof that you have rented your property to someone else. No one else is in possession of your property.
