https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184157 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a lease does not create a tenancy by holding over under Section 116 of the Transfer of Property Act where the contract requires renewal before expiry and prescribes a contrary mode of renewal. Mere receipt of rent during continued occupation is insufficient without the lessor's assent to continued possession, so no deemed renewal or notice requirement arises on that basis. A renewal clause that depends on uncertain future mutual consent or undefined village mediation is too vague for specific performance, especially where the option was exercised late and the lessor gave no positive assent. The ejectment claim was therefore maintainable and the renewal clause was unenforceable. en-us Mon, 11 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 29 Apr 2024 10:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184157 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a lease does not create a tenancy by holding over under Section 116 of the Transfer of Property Act where the contract requires renewal before expiry and prescribes a contrary mode of renewal.
