Tenant-Landlord Disputes Highlight Rental Rights and Recent Supreme Court Eviction Ruling
A Reddit post alleges a landlord refused to renew a lease and withheld a ₹55,000 security deposit after discovering the tenant lived with her unmarried partner, sparking debate on tenants' rights and rental norms.

Separately, a recent Supreme Court ruling clarified ownership proof in eviction cases, strengthening landlords' positions while emphasizing clear rental agreements under the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, to balance tenant and landlord rights.
