Section 23 Maharashtra Rent Control Act | 'Bona Fide Requirement' Valid Even If Landlord Owns Joint Family Properties : Bombay HC Aurangabad Bench
Bombay HC Aurangabad Bench upholds eviction under Section 23 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, ruling that a landlord's bona fide requirement for personal use is valid even if they own other joint family properties. The court clarified that mere ownership of alternate properties does not negate the landlord's right to eviction, setting a precedent for landlord-tenant disputes in Maharashtra.
