Tenant not vacating after expiry of contract


27-Oct-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)

We have a tenant who had an agreement for 8 years with a monthly rent of 1,300/- and a 10% rise after some years. There was an initial refundable (without interest) deposit of 2 lakh. The agreement got expired in Nov'14 and he has not moved from there since. We had sent out a legal notice to him before that. Is this a case where the tenant has an upper hand ?

Once the Contract between the parties is over and you have not permitted him to stay beyond the Contractual period, then you can file for a suit for eviction in Court and seek appropriate orders. The tenant will have to evict the premises as no further agreement or permission has been granted by you.

At the quantum of rent set by you the tenant will have the protection of the Delhi rent control act if the property is in delhi. However there are other aspects that are important and which will determine whether or not you have a strong case to evict your tenant
