This query is : Resolved
Dear All,
My questions are regarding my tenants holding both residential & commercial properties in U.P.
I have neither demanded nor received any rent from my tenants for last 20-30 years. I have the original rent-deeds with along with some receipts of last rents received.
My questions are:
1.Can I still legally call them my tenants? Or I have lost ownership rights since I did not receive any rent nor sued them for the same?
2. Does the law of limitation applies in my case?
3. Can the tenants claim the property on the basis of adverse possession?
4. Do I have to go for suit for possession/declaration?
Thanks,
Faiz

Mr.Faiz tenant is always remain tenant.He can not acquired the ownership right over the tenanted property.you can claim and demand the rent and can sue them for the same.There is no question arises for adverse possession.you must claim arrear of rent and eviction of the said tenant
