New Delhi, Sept. 30 -- Tenants living in a housing society may sometimes face disputes and problems with the society over issues such as maintenance, rent, use of common areas, and adherence to society rules.

Still, even in such situations, a housing society does not have the power to automatically evict a tenant from a flat rented out by one of its members. Now, the legal position in such cases largely depends on the facts of the case, the circumstances and events, and on who owns the premises and who is the landlord.

Let us take a look at the rights, duties, and responsibilities of tenants and how they can protect themselves against unjust eviction by staying informed about applicable laws and regulations.
