A series of rulings in tenant vs landlord rows over the last year has gone in favour of house owners :
March 2008- SC says Oriental Insurance and Bharat Petroleum can pay rent at market rates in Mumbai and, therefore, are not entitled to the protection of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act April 2008 -The apex court says a landlord can ask a tenant to vacate commercial premises, citing bona fide requirements for himself or herself, or any dependent family member September 2008 -The HC rules that a tenant has to vacate his flat at the end of the leave-and-licence agreement term . Long years of tenancy cannot be a shield against eviction from a shop or house when the owner’s need for using the premises is bona fide, the SC says .
November 2008 -A tenant can’t stay put in a rented premise claiming it is not fit for the owner’s need, rules the SC .
December 2008 -A landlord can seek the appointment of a court commissioner to inspect tenanted premises, the HC says.
