Issue a notice to vacate your flat within one month failing which it be treated as unauthorized occupation and you shall have the liberty to remove or otherwise dispose of all belongings and not be responsible for any loss or damages. Inform police also. After expiry of one month you take possession of your flat. In case if any physical objection call police for help.

1. your SIL has no right , title and interest on the property and hence she has got no right to overstay there without your permission.

2. Now Since she is not vacating it, only legal option is file a suit for her eviction.

3. So engage an advocate and file a suit for eviction of licensee which would take sometime but you would get vacant possession of the property for sure.

You need to serve her eviction notice and ask them to leave the premises within 1 month from the notice .

In case she fails to vacate flat on notice a civil suit for same has to be filed seeking possession of property.

Hello, 

If she is not ready to leave the house then you will have to approach the court. 

You may approach the police also, who may help you in getting her out of the home bu t they will not lodge any complaint as this is a civil matter and not criminal. 

You will have to file a suit for eviction as she is unauthorized occupant on your premises.

Dear client, 

She is women and staying there from long time so forceful eviction not advisable.  File eviction suit in court.

  1. The property in dispute is on your name and that makes it clear that just by giving it on rent or otherwise, the person to whom it has been given for accommodation becomes the owner of the property.
  2. You should have her a legal notice to vacate the property within 15 days from receiving the  notice.
  3. Then if she still doesn’t vacate the property, I would then advice you to file a suit for eviction before the civil court of law.

You issue a notice instructing them to vacate the premises, failing to respond you may file a suit for ejectment to eject them from the property for the reasons you rely upon.

An ejectment suit is the best option before you because she is considered as an unauthorized  occupant in the premises.

She was allowed to use the flat only as a gratitious licensee

As she is not moving out you can file a police complaint 

Also an eviction suit has to be filed against her in civil court for possession
