You need not worry if the rent agreement is properly executed between you. Now if the rental agreement period has lapsed, you and the lessee shall execute a fresh "Lease Agreement" (Rent agreement but not leave and license) for 3 years (the from and to period shall be mentioned) with a monthly rent as mutually agreed, advance if any, failing of paying rent how to pay extension of the lease period for a further period of 3 years, etc. Consult a local advocate or Document Writer for drafting the lease agreement.

No, Tenant can not claim ownership rights over your flat particularly in your case as there exists lease agreement between him and you.Beside the lease agreement always receive rent thrugh cheque.If tenant pays rent in cash then issue him rent receipts and get counter sign on counetr file of receipt.

Yes, it is the settled law that "once a tenant, always the tenant". Tenant's denial of the landlord's title itself is a ground too seek eviction.

You can enter into fresh rental agreement with mutually accepted terms. If you have doubt give notice and look for alternative tenent.
