https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=191146 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a contractual tenancy does not, by itself, create a tenancy holding over under section 116 of the Transfer of Property Act where the occupant continues in possession under rent control protection. In that situation, the occupant remains in possession by force of statute, not by virtue of a subsisting contractual tenancy, so payment or acceptance of rent equivalent amounts does not automatically amount to the landlord's assent to a renewed tenancy. A fresh tenancy may still arise from express agreement or clear conduct, but statutory protection alone is insufficient. The result is that mere receipt of rent after determination of the lease does not confer holding-over rights. en-us Fri, 10 Feb 1961 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 10:23:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=191146 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a contractual tenancy does not, by itself, create a tenancy holding over under section 116 of the Transfer of Property Act where the occupant continues in possession under rent control protection.
