Section 16(1)(n) Maharashtra Rent Control Act | Tenant Must Prove Reasonable Cause for Non-Use with Documentary Evidence : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that tenants facing eviction for non-use of premises under Section 16(1)(n) of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act must substantiate reasonable cause with documentary proof, not mere oral testimony. The judgment reinforces landlords' rights to recover possession where tenants fail to meet this evidentiary burden, setting a precedent for stricter proof standards in non-user eviction cases.
