My father owns a property in Mumbai which he has given on rent to a person for the past 22 years. I wanted to know if there is a time limit before the tenant can claim legal possession of the property?

If a person staying on rental (pagdi)/MOnthly tenancy basis then he is protected under rent control act. However, Property let out on leave and license basis prior to February 1973 to a Licensee, are since February 1973 treated a Deemed Tenant instead of Licensee, by virtue of an amendment to the Rent Act.
