CrPC's Magic Number for Landlords

You know when your landlord is threatening to evict you, but you know you're not a tenant, you're a license holder? That's when I think of Section 106 CrPC - Magistrate can issue a certificate cancelling a lease. It's like having a shield against your landlord's threats.

In real life, this section helped a friend who rented an apartment in a chawl. He paid rent, but the owner was trying to throw him out. My friend didn't have a written lease, but he went to the police and they registered a case under Section 106. The Magistrate intervened and gave a certificate that their 'agreement' was just a license to reside. No more threats from the landlord!

It might not be a big deal in your everyday life, but trust me, knowing this one section can save you from unnecessary court battles and stress.
