Hi ! I have filed a case of personal necessity against my commercial tenant. The regd rent agreement had expired in 2016. But the tenant continued to pay rent with 5% increase every year. My queries are : 1. Since he continued to pay rent through cheques even after the expiry of the rent agreement so does this mean we entered into a perpetual agreement ? 2. Since I have filed the petition on the basis of personal necessity so does this deprive me of the Measn Profit privilege when the tenant goes to appeal ? Case pertains to Chandigarh.

Dear Sir,
A tenant will be treated as tenant always and if he continuous to stay over and above the lease period then it will be deemed tenancy or permissive tenancy.
