Asked by landlord 20 Oct 2011

If a tenant has been renting a place for a period of time, say more than 10 years, can he apply a caveat and claim ownership of the property? Is there such a law?

Dear Landlord,
This is unheard of! A tenant will remain a tenant and it does not matter how long unless the tenant fully purchased the property. A person with a caveatable interest eg.a buyer who paid a down payment to purchase a property or a person who has a registrable interest in that property can lodged a caveat. A caveat is to stop further dealings on the property without the caveator's knowledge and it is not ownership.
