The co-living segment was worst affected during the COVID pandemic as educational institutions and offices were closed to curb the spread of the disease. Many co-living operators shut down their operations permanently or scaled down their businesses.

Landlords cannot be deprived of beneficial enjoyment of their property and are vested with the right to decide how to utilise their possessions, the Delhi High Court said on Wednesday while upholding an order for vacation of tenanted premises. The high court said it is trite law that a tenant cannot dictate to the landlord as to how the property has to be utilised. Landlords cannot be deprived of the beneficial enjoyment of their property. Further, the court is not to sit on the armchair of landlords to dictate as to how the property should be utilised.
