Sitting Tenant

Basically, a sitting tenant is somebody who has security of tenure and cannot lawfully be evicted. The tenant may voluntarily agree to leave the property but otherwise cannot be removed without a court order and providing he is keeping to the tenancy agreement and paying the rent on time, this is unlikely to be granted.
