if we live in a house for more than 50 years on rent then are we eligible to claim the ownership of the house ?

I live in a chawl and my family has lived there for almost 50 years on rent. so the thing is that the actual landlord of the house has died some 10 years ago and his son is not getting the power of attorney. so how can we get the ownership of our house ?

You cannot claim ownership of the house since you are merely a tenant irrespective of your period of tenancy. Moreover the house has automatically passed on to the landlord's son by virtue of the law of inheritance. You can at best hold onto to the premises as a tenant, however the son can always file a suit for ejectment against you, for getting absolute possession of the premises.

you cannot claim ownership per se but the owner cannot remove you from the premises and at the time of redevelopment, you stand a great chance to get your tenancy converted into ownership.

Actually I am in the government engineering college in kolkata , west bengal. I had allergy and asthma and did not stay at my hostel in 8th semester as of now this is march and three months have passed. Although my previous dues are clear the administration is asking me to pay mess fees for the 8th semester too. I know it is my fault that i did not inform them about me not staying anymore. But is there any way I can get out paying that hefty amount as I did'nt use the service or ate food.
