A business owner in Gujarat faces a legal notice to vacate after their landlord refused to renew a lease, despite accepting rent in advance. Legal experts clarify that payment does not constitute an automatic renewal when written permission is required. While the lease terminates by efflux of time, the tenant may negotiate for sufficient relocation time.

Tenant filed a false suit against landlord
My tenant has filed a false suit in civil court when I gave him the notice to vacate my shop. He has not been paying rent since march 2014 and on repeated request to vacate my premises he always took time. In November 2014 I sent him a notice to vacate my shop but he filed a civil suit immediately after receiving the notice.
There was an agreement of lease and license for 11 months tenure and it is included that after the expiry of tenure he shall be treated as a trespasser. I obtained his signature on the agreement. He took the plea that after the expiry of agreement landlord has been receiving rent every month. So tenancy is extended by his conduct.
But I have not received any rent after march 2014. I want to take back possession of the shop. What should I do?
Tenant denied title and ownership of landlord
Sir my tenant has filed a civil suit in the court of senior division Bhatinda. He claimed that he got interested in the property during the tenancy. I am NRI and used to visit India 4-5 times in a year. I never alienated my property to anyone. He filed that suit after my receiving notice to vacate my house. I have been issuing rent receipt in each month.
He had been paying rent for the last 6 years but after the notice, past 7 months, he refused to pay rent and he filed this false case. I want to construct a hotel on the land so I need this property for my personal necessity. Please advise.
