The court affirmed the landlord's right to terminate a lease upon expiration and demand reasonable rent, ruling that eviction suits do not require sub-tenants to be joined as parties.

If a registered lease deed is executed and if no option is reserved to landlord to determine lease, in such cases, lease stands terminated by efflux of period mentioned therein and not at unilateral ....
Landlord can obtain possession of premises upon clear admissions about tenancy relations and formal lease termination, regardless of tenant's claims of extensions based on rent acceptance.

A co-owner can independently file for eviction under rent control laws, and the landlord's bona fide need for property use outweighs tenant hardship claims.
