What would the court expect the landlord to prove before he seeks to recover possession from the tenant on the ground that he bonafide requires possession for his own use or the use of the members of his family ? In a catena of decisions it has been decided that in order to succeed the landlord should show that the premises have been let out as a residence or for residential purposes; that the landlord needs to occupy the premises, which may imply that either he has got no other accommodation in the city or town in which the premises in question are situated or the one in 512 his possession does not provide him a suitable residence and he is required to shift to the premises in question, that his need is genuine and that it is not merely a fanciful desire of an affluent landlord who for the fancy of changing the premises would like to shift to the one from which the tenant is sought to be evicted; that he is acting bona fide in approaching the court for recovery of possession; and that his demand is reasonable.
