Technically, when a lease expires, all legal rights in the property revert to the freeholder. The leasehold title and freehold title are no longer separate interests, but a single one. If you're the leaseholder, if your lease runs out, the property no longer belongs to you, even if you've lived there for a long time.
The most common long-term lease duration for properties in India is 99 years. This extended lease period serves as a unique feature of leasehold properties, setting them apart from freehold properties where ownership is perpetual.
A 99-year lease is, under historic common law, the longest possible term of a lease of real property. It is no longer the law in most common law jurisdictions today, yet 99-year leases continue to be common as a matter of business practice and conventional wisdom.

Leases for Not More Than Three Years. --Real property, including any personal property thereon, may be leased for a term of not more than three years by a landlord or his agent to a tenant or his agent, by oral or written contract or agreement. Section 202. Leases for More Than Three Years.
What Happens When a Land Lease Expires? Theoretically, a land lease could come to the end of its term without renewal, and the building would revert to the leaseholder. It means that co-op or condo owners would face eviction or could become tenants in their homes. However, this is a rare situation.
Lease Over 99 Years is Void, Not Voidable.
For nonpayment of rent, landlords must give 10 days' notice to quit the premises. For lease violations, 30 days' notice is required for yearly leases and 15 days for month-to-month agreements. If the tenant does not vacate after receiving notice, the landlord must then file an eviction lawsuit with the local court.
