Tenant illegal possession over my House and denying to vacate
09-May-2025 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Agreement is over, legal notice is over but tenant is denying to vacate. Main party is leave the house now daughter illegal take possession and deny to vacate. Complain in police station is also served. Can we submit a complaint to electricity dept that we are not responsible for bills ?
Since the agreement has expired and the tenant is illegally occupying the premises even after a legal notice and police complaint, you can approach the civil court for eviction under relevant rent control laws. As for the electricity bill, you may write to the electricity department stating that the original tenant has vacated and the current occupant is unauthorized. Request the bill to be transferred or services disconnected until rightful occupation is restored. Keep copies of all prior notices and complaints for legal proceedings.

Hello. In such a case you will have to file the recovery of property (possession) suit before the court/ rent controller.
This is not a case where police will intervene or even where electricity department can help you.
Though this is a time taking process, but if your case falls under Rent Control Act ( depending on location of property and value of rent), then it can be comparatively a speedier process.
Please feel free to reach out to us for further help.
