Tenent Staying for 18 years

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
We have a house in Tamil Nadu, where a tenant is staying there for last 15 years. No agreement drawn except for a lease agreement signed for 11-months that expired in 1992. Since then he has been staying there and paying rent properly.

House revenue records are in the joint name of me and my father (who expired recently). Land records carry the name of my grandfather.

Is there a risk of him continuing to stay in the property for such long period without any agreement?

Do we need to vacate him - is that the only way or we can enter into fresh lease agreement dated now to next 11/22/33 months?

He seem open to signing lease agreements, but requesting to stay back for some more time (till he is alive - since he has been tehre for many years now!)

Please advise.
