Rights of the Lessee:
A lessee has certain rights under the property laws of the land. As laid down by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the rights enjoyed by a lessee are as follows:
- Accession rights over the leased property subject to fulfillment
of all other clauses. The lessee cannot be deprived of accession
rights if he pays the rent in full and conforms to the laid
down terms of the agreement.
- Full rights to repair and maintenance of premises by the
lessor. In case he is deprived of that, the lessee can carry
out the repairs himself and deduct the charges from the payable
rent. He can also approach legal services if deprived of re-imbursement.
- Re-imbursement of payment towards dues/taxes otherwise
payable by lessor or against the property.
- Lessee may remove things attached by him to the property
during his possession provided the property is left in the
same stage it was in when he had taken possession.
- Full rights on the 'produce' of his efforts on the property
during his possession even after the lease has expired. This
is particularly in the case of plantation where the produce
comes at its due time and the lease may have expired by then.
But such a condition is permissible only once and till the
considerable occurrences present themselves.
- Right to sub-lease the property provided there is such a
clause in the lease deed. If the property can be sub-leased
under law and the lessor or anybody from his side is not allowing
the privileged, the lessee can seek legal opinion against
the lessor.
- Right to use the property and its products wherever applicable,
as if it were his own; unless he himself or through his associates,
tries to damage, sell or mutilate the property or perform
anything that is criminal or conspiring in nature.
- Right to privacy of his, his family and his business, if
conducted from the premises, from the lessor or any of his
representatives. Undue interference and intimidation from
a lessor can be reported to law and action taken thereof.
- The lessee cannot be evicted from the premises till the
determination of the lease or unless he has been served a
notice for a period of maximum 30 days to evict, as per laid
down terms in the lease deed/agreement. Such a clause of notifying
may differ across different purposes and parties.
The rights as privileged to the lessee if not awarded are liable for legal action against the lessor or the concerned authority.
