The first action you must take is to serve them the statutory notice under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act immediately. If they do not pay within 15 days of notice, you can pursue a complaint against them under section 138 before the competent court of law. A criminal complaint for that amount will not be fruitful. Whereas a complaint under section 138 is an efficacious remedy.

Tenant can be evicted from the property on the ground of non payment of rent.

Send one notice immediately.

And File criminal complaint for bouncing of cheque, but for that also you have to send one legal notice to the accused

Dear Sir
yes you can file a case under rent act and also case under section 138 of negotiable instruments act. You can prosecute the opponent both ways by going for vacating the property and also a criminal nature case.
