1. Well, if the tenant does not leave the tenanted premises then suit for eviction remains only option.

2. For this you are required to first send a notice of eviction and then file a suit for eviction against him.

3. The suit for eviction does take time which varies from state to state.

4. The average time in WB for such suit is around 7-8 years.

tenant can pay the rent to the landlord either by sending the same by money-order or by depositing the same in court in the litigation already pending.

1. You have to file a petition for eviction of your tenant under the rent control legislation in force in TN. In your petition you can also claim the arrears of your rent with interest.

2. If the tenant does not pay the rent on the first hearing after assessment then he will be liable to be evicted.

3. It takes time in the court, around a year or thereabout.

If tenant fails to pay the rent he will treated as willful defaulter. You have to send quit notice to your tenant under Section 106 of TP Act by giving 15 days clear time for eviction and payment of monthly rent due and mesne profit. If still he did not vacated you have to file suit for eviction and recovery of possession and rents due etc., he has to pay rent to you or to deposit in your bank account and you have to provide your bank detailed. if he is defaulter by the time of filing suit you can seek attachment of his movables properties before judgement. You have to provide your band account details showing your willingness to receive amount otherwise the rent will be deposit in court case account.

If the tenant has defaulted in the rental payment, you can issue notice demanding the rental amount and the arrears of rent and also you can instruct him to vacate the premise for the same reason.

If The tenant is not complying with the demands made, you may file an eviction suit.

The time taken for disposal of suit cannot be predicted due to various facts involved in it.

The tenant will not come forward to pay the rent in the court too since he has not bothered to pay the rent for all these 11 months, however, if he pays it , you may accept it.

as per law during the course of eviction trail should the tenant pay rent or not if yes to whom he should pay the rent? is it to the landlord or to the court??

Whether during the pendency of case in court or not, the tenant is bound to pay the rent for the premises occupied by him till the date he vacates the same.

The court is not the landlord that he has to pay the rent to the court, he has to indicate payment of rent to you before court, and only if you refuse to accept the same, the court will pass an order to deposit the same in the court deposit,.
