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

My brother who is staying in USA has rented out partial flat. The tenant has not payed the rent for last 6 months despite several requests and every time allowing him grace period to give him an opportunity to clear the rent but he has failed. Can we take legal action against him ?

First, have your brother execute a power of attorney that will allow you to prosecute cases and sign pleadings on his behalf. Then file a suit for eviction and arrears of rent before the appropriate court. Feel free to get in touch if we could be of any further assistance to you.
