Landlord, Religious, Charitable, Educational or Public Institutions S. 11 (7)

      Where the landlord of a building is a religious, charitable, educational or other  public institution, it may, if the building is needed for the purpose of the institution, apply to the Rent Control Court, for an order directing the tenant to put the institution in possession of the building.

Object :

The religious, charitable, educational or other public institutions are given a separate ground for eviction of building belonging to the institution.  This ground is given because section 11 (3) may not be squarely applicable in the case of such institution.  The “other public institutions” should be interpreted on the principle of ‘ejusdem generis’ rule of interpretation.  If the building is needed for the purpose of the institution then the institution may apply to the Rent Control Court for an order of eviction of the tenant and to put the institution in possession of the building.
