Abstract The concept of tenancy is not new to the Indian legal system. A tenant is a person who occupies/enjoys the property of another person (called the landlord), on payment of a certain amount of money called rent. Tenancy is the best alternative way of housing for people who cannot afford to have a place of residence of their own. In most of the cases, written tenancy agreements are entered into by the landlord and the tenant. Like any other contract, tenancy is not free from disputes. Those may be with respect to payment of rent, enhancement of rent, repairs and maintenance, return of security deposits, eviction, easementary rights, etc. This paper explores alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods as a viable solution for resolving tenancy disputes. It also presents an overview of the current state of tenancy disputes and the shortcomings of traditional litigation methods. It then examines various forms of ADR, such as mediation, arbitration, conciliation and negotiation, and their potential benefits in the context of tenancy disputes. The paper also analyzes the legal framework surrounding ADR and the role of the court system in facilitating ADR in tenancy disputes. The author has referred to some articles in this regard. Finally, the paper highlights the importance of educating tenants and landlords about ADR and promoting its use as a more cost-effective and efficient means of resolving disputes. Overall, this paper suggests that ADR can serve as a valuable tool in addressing tenancy disputes and promoting harmonious tenant-landlord relationships.
