What are landlord's rights under Delhi Rent Control Act?
Under Delhi Rent Control Act, what are the landlord's rights, and does the tenant have legal inheritance rights for tenancy?
Under Delhi Rent Control Act, the landlord has the right to get rent on time and can evict the tenant if rent is not paid or property is misused. Landlord can also ask tenant to leave if he needs the house for personal use. Tenant has limited inheritance rights; only family members living with the tenant at the time of death can continue the tenancy. But tenant cannot claim permanent ownership of the property.
Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, a landlord has the right to receive rent on time, evict tenants for non-payment, misuse, or personal need, and increase rent as per legal rules. A tenant's legal heir can inherit the tenancy only if they were living with the tenant at the time of their death. For residential properties, the inherited tenancy lasts only for 5 years, unless the heir was financially dependent on the deceased tenant.
Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, a tenant's legal heirs (spouse, children, or parents) may inherit the tenancy if they live with the deceased tenant. However, the landlord can still terminate the tenancy for valid reasons like non-payment of rent or illegal use of the property. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer to secure inheritance rights. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
