In India, a landlord and his tenant’s rights and interests are protected and governed by the tenancy law. The pertinent laws that collectively make up the tenancy law define the rights of both tenant and landlord in various situations. The relationship between a landlord and his tenant is governed by agreements. These agreements are drafted depending on the type of tenancy. Tenancy can take either the form of rent or lease.
