Tenant not paying the rent & is neither vacating house after request


30-Mar-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I rented a two room set on 2nd floor of my house from 10 Dec 16 to a tenant for a monthly rent of Rs 10000/- per month with water and electricity charges extra at actual. Notary attested rent agreement for 11 months was signed on a stamp paper of Rs 100/-. Now rent for the months of Feb and Mar 17 is due but tenant is not paying it. I have told him to pay the rent number of times but he is only giving dates for payment but not fulfilling. I told him to vacate the house but he is not listneing. In Feb 17 he gave a cheque of Rs 10000/- issued by someone else where tenant is working with but it was dishonoured. After lot of efforts he himself issued a cheque of Rs 20000/- but that also was dishonoured. Both the cheques were dishonoured due to insufficient balance. Please advise what should I do.

You have all the valid reason to make him to vacate your house..As you said he is not vacating you can serve him a notice mentioning the reason to vacate rental room. And you can also file the case of cheque bouncing which will give him a double effect. You can serve him notice of dishonore of cheque. There are few other things you discuss with for better assistance. Contact me for the same.

You should file suit for eviction against him. Kindly share your agreement and other documents, receipts etc to better understand the arrangement between you and the tenant. It is advisable to file a suit at the earliest.

first i want to know whether there is any clause in the rent agreement that if the tenant not pay the rent for one or two months the landlord can terminate the tenancy and he can get the possession of the tenanted portion. in your case you can terminate the tenancy and ask for possession from the tenant. you can file a case of possession in the court of law.

Hello, this is breach of contract and you can always file case against your tanant, also you can file Sec 138 of Negotiable Instrument act for cheque bouncing. He is liable to pay the rent with interest. Please revert back.
