✅ The Legal Reality:

A tenant cannot refuse to vacate if the lease has expired and the landlord legally demands possession. However, tenants do have some rights under Indian tenancy laws. 📜⚖️

A landlord can legally evict a tenant if:

✅ The tenant violates lease terms (illegal activities, subletting, damage to property). 🚨🏚️
✅ The landlord needs the property for personal use. 🏡

🔹 Example: If a tenant refuses to vacate after the agreement ends, the landlord can send a legal eviction notice and file a case under The Rent Control Act.
