How to deal with non cooperative tenant

935 votes

Hi
Since there is no rental agreement and that he has not been paying the rents,electricity and maintenance the options available to you are
a) You may approach the court and get the tenant evicted through court which might take a long time.
b) You may break open the lock in front of some respected elders, collect all his personal belongings and after making an inventory of his goods in the form of panchanama and keep them aside. Though this option has no legal sanctity, it is perfectly legal to take back possession of your property as there is no legal agreement and that the tenancy is on a daily basis and hence the owner can forcibly evict the tenant who has defaulted on rent. Even police cannot take action on you as the tenant is construed as a tresspasser in your property.

You have to file a petition before the District Munsif Court, under Rent Control Act, stating the reasons for the eviction, such as non-payment of rent, wanted for personal occupation, want to be demolished due to the age of the building , etc.. This case is well known as R.C.O.P. Then the court will examine the genuiness of your claim with reference to his objection and pass orders accordingly.
