Rent Control | Tenant Entitled to 9-Month Extension to Vacate Despite Concurrent Finding of Landlord's Reasonable Requirement : Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court granted a 23-year tenant nine months to vacate premises, overriding the landlord's established reasonable requirement by prioritizing equitable relief and practical hardship. This sets a critical precedent that statutory rights to possession must be balanced with human dignity and livelihood concerns, especially for long-term tenants with no immediate alternatives.
