Respected Sirs,

My tenant is in occupation as tenant of my house since the past 10 years.

My neighbours and well wishers say that my tenant may claim ownership rights if he has any bad intentions of doing so or if instigated by others.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM PERIOD OF PERSISTING TENANCY THAT A TENANT CAN LEGALLY CLAIM OWNERSHIP RIGHTS!

Pl give me your opinion so that i can proceed wisely.

Thanks Learned Sirs.

You are wrongly advised. The rule of adverse possession does not apply to a tenant. A tenant by way of law of estoppel is barred to claim the title of the property or in other words to dispute the title of the landlord.
