You can take legal action against them and validly sue them in the court of law on the following grounds: 1. there was no renewal of the lease and hence it shows your intention of not extending the lease period. 2. There should not be acceptance of any rent from them as acceptance of rent would further weaken your case as acceptance will amount to consent of their continuing as the tenant for further whatsoever period. Hence, as per the current status, as the lease agreement has not been renewed by you, you can sue them in the civil court provided there Has not been any acceptance of any rent and there should exist valid objection with regard to the same.
