1. Default of paying rent for consecutive 3 months is a ground for eviction.

2. The requirement of the premises for personal use of the landlord is also another ground for eviction.

3. So if the tenant is not letting the premises vacated or paying the rent you will have to first send hima notice of eviction.

4. If after expiry of one months the tenant does not vacate the premises then file the suit for eviction.

5. So meet a lawyer ad do the same asap.

1. you should serve a notice on her to payment of all dues and vacate the house.

2. when she disobeyed that notice then approach the court of small causes for eviction and recovery of dues.

3. it is proved that she is a tenant and also she admits that how much rent and electricity bill are due. so she cannot refuge before the court.

her assertion however on plain paper is a good piece of evidence and also admissible under section 21 of the evidence act. if she tries to refuse it she shall be stopped by the court under section 115 of the evidence act. you should initiate proceeding against her

1. Default in payment of rent by a tenant is a ground for his eviction. So your father can file a petition for his eviction in the rent tribunal under Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2001.

2. In your petition you can also claim the arrears of rent.

Do you want to evict the lady or get back the arrears of rent or both?

First send a legal notice to her and asking the total arrears of rent and electricity bill amount. Also indicate to evict the premises within 7 days from date of receipt of the notice. if tenant does not vacate premises file eviction suit file before rent control court on the ground of arrears of rent .meet a local lawyer.

A. Issue a legal notice to pay arrears rent including electricity bill and highlight eviction consequences.

B. Present cheque before the bank towards rent arrears and electricity bill. In case no sufficient fund, you can file a criminal case under section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act.

C. You can file an eviction suit before the Court under the non payment of Rent and Electricity Bill. But you need to submit Rental Agreement which shall have sufficient stamp duty and term of the rent shall be existed.

You should give an eviction notice instructing her to vacate the property as she has defaulted in rental payment and hence she is not eligible to stay in the property as a tenant anymore. You can demand arrears of rent in the same notice.

If she do not comply with the demand made, you may file an eviction suit on the same grounds.
