Under Indian law, a tenant does not automatically acquire any ownership rights over a property, even after long-term occupancy. However, if the rental agreement is not properly documented or if there are specific clauses granting tenancy rights, it’s crucial to consult with a legal professional to understand potential legal risks and protect your property interests.
