Section 13(1)(ii) Bombay Rent Act | Open Land Qualifies as 'Appurtenant' if Functionally Integrated with Leased Building, Permitting Partial Eviction for Construction : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that vacant land leased under a composite tenancy can be deemed 'appurtenant' to a building if it is functionally integrated - enabling landlords to seek eviction of only that portion for construction while preserving tenant rights to the main structure. This clarifies the scope of partial eviction under the Rent Act and impacts urban redevelopment cases involving mixed-use leases.
