A Tenant - at - Will is one who occupies rented premises without a lease but pays rent periodically. The agreement for the Tenancy- at - Will may be either written or verbal. Either the landlord or tenant may terminate this arrangement by giving written notice of specific time. Tenant at will, is when lands or tenements are let by one man to another, to have and the bold to him at the will of the lessor, by force of which the lessee is in possession. In this case the lessee is called tenant – at will. Every lease at will must be at the will of both parties. Such a tenant may be ejected by the landlord at any time.
Nowhere in the Transfer of Property Act a tenant-at-will is recognised as a lessee. Section 105 of the Transfer of Property Act recognises only a lease for certain time, express or implied, that is, periodic leases and leases in perpetuity. …..
