The answer is 'NO'. A tenant can never claim ownership on the property based on his tenancy rights. There is no definite period specified in law for a leave or license agreement, but law makes it compulsary for the registration of a lease agreement , if the tenancy period is more than a year. Pl file a suit for eviction against the tenant.
