File eviction suit on the ground of default in rent payment.

Issue legal notice for demand of rent along with interest.

Women cannot be send to jail for non payment but court will order to vacate the premises.

Rent matters are dealt irrespective of gender discrimination, only difference is women cannot be send to jail for non payment of money even after order of court. Only her properties will attach if she owns any.

Private FSL not admissible in court.

Court may order for FSL and she proved guilty than will convict for up to 7 years.
