https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192104 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a lease does not by itself create a fresh tenancy by holding over under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. A new tenancy requires clear bilateral assent: the tenant must offer to continue and the landlord must unequivocally agree. Where the tenant remains in possession under rent control protection, payment of rent is ordinarily referable to that statutory status rather than to a new contractual lease. On the stated facts, no independent material showed an intention to renew the tenancy, so no holding over arose and the longer notice period claimed for termination was not available. en-us Tue, 14 Dec 1971 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 13 May 2017 10:15:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192104 Acceptance of rent after expiry of a lease does not by itself create a fresh tenancy by holding over under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.
