My family has lived in this house with a shared roof for over 60 years. I want to create a loft for storage, using existing space within our home. Can I do this without the landlord’s permission? It’s just a way to maximize space within the existing structure, without any additions or changes.

In India, even modifications within an existing structure that don’t involve additions or changes to the exterior require the landlord’s permission. This applies even if the family has lived in the house for a long time, as the landlord has the right to control the property.
