My grandmother rented out a room for around Rs 20 years ago. The tenant is now refusing to leave, claiming it’s his. My father is homeless and we desperately need this property. What can we do?

In India, a tenant’s continuous occupancy for over 12 years can lead to adverse possession claims. You’ll need to prove the rental agreement existed and that the tenant didn’t possess the property for over 12 years continuously. Consult a lawyer to assess your legal options and pursue eviction through the appropriate legal channels.
