A residuary bequest covering movable and immovable property can include tenancy rights, as those rights are an interest in immovable property unless the will shows an intention to exclude them. Although a will remains revocable during the testator's lifetime, it vests the tenancy rights in the devisee upon death. That voluntary vesting divests the tenant of the legal right to possession and constitutes parting with possession where the statutory provision prohibits transfer without the landlord's written consent. The resulting consequence is the landlord's entitlement to eviction. en-us Mon, 22 Apr 1985 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 06 Oct 2025 17:30:49 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=464110 Testamentary transfer of tenancy rights may fall within a rent-control prohibition on parting with possession.
