The Allahabad High Court clarified that the Rent Authority’s powers are not limited by the absence of a written tenancy agreement or submitted details. Under the Uttar Pradesh Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021, landlords can still seek eviction.
In a major judgment, the Supreme Court ruled that no tenant—regardless of how long they’ve stayed—can claim ownership of rented property through adverse possession. The Court clarified that tenancy is always based on the owner’s permission, not ownership rights.
