Dear Client,

In case no rent deed, tenancy shall be terminable by giving 15 days legal notice, file eviction suit for bonafied/persoanl need and non payment of rent. His allegation has no weight.

The way out is an eviction petition. He can not have the premise just because he is retired secretary. If there is delay you may move the petition to the High Court.

Hello,

Do you have written the record of any eviction notices? Anyways, I would like to review your petition in the court and his reply in the court. As your tenant is very clever we have to proceed with an efficient well-strategized eviction process against him. Kindly reply to discuss in detail.

Thank you.

It depends on the court but you have the option open for moving to the High Court on the basis of non payment and non eviction as you need the property for your personal use.

You have to file a eviction suit before the court for evicting the tenant on the ground of non payment of rent and own use. there is no other way around then going to civil court for eviction suit as police cannot help in the civil matter.

Common Grounds For Tenant Eviction

The Rent Control Acts of most states specify certain common grounds for evicting the tenant, which include the following:

Non-payment of rent

Sub-letting rented premises or a part of it without landlord’s permission

Misuse of rented premises

Damaging (major) rented premises

Not vacating the rented premises even after the term’s completion

Conducting illegal/ criminal activities in rented premises

Deliberate violation of clauses mentioned in rental agreement

So what to do in any of the above scenarios, to make the tenant vacate a rented premises?

First up, try to speak with your tenants and sort out things with some minor compromises, if required. Give them a chance to vacate the rented premises before you file a case or take any further measures. But if this doesn’t work out well, proceed to get legal help.

Made complaint before the police station would not help you anyway. When the tenancy disputes being a civil in nature, the police department wont interfere on the issue. The option available to you is to approach the Rent Control Court to evict the tenant. You can file a eviction petition on the ground of Own use and occupation or additional accommodation and Wilful default in payment of the rent. The case will take at least 2 to 4 years to get finality. While pending the proceedings, if he committed default then you can get the eviction order with in 2 years. If the arrears of amount is huge, issue a notice to him to deposit the monthly rent along with the arrears of rent on the bank account mentioned by you. Once you provide the bank account number to the tenant to deposit the monthly then it will be easy to you to prove your case that he committed default on payment of rent.

If the tenant is refusing to vacate nor paying the rent then you may file an eviction petition under rent control act before the appropriate court after having served a legal eviction notice to him.

The case may run for years but do not deter your determination, his menace can be eradicated by due process of law only.

Because my friends are advising that if we go court such this kind of cases it will take 2yr 3yrs time.. Un-till the time we will not get any rent. Is there any best or priority filling and get the case on the court.. i read some of news that Power cut and non supply of water it will favor to the tenant and penalize the landlord right. Pls suggest the best and quick way of let out the tenant from premises..

The case in the court may take at least 3 years to get disposed.

The only way out before you is the proposed eviction suit, legally you cannot get any respite than this.
