RLTOP (Rent Law Original Petition) cases can be filed under The Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, even without written agreement by proving the case on oral agreement between the parties. Rent due payment can be recovered through this RLTOP proceedings and in the same proceedings eviction of the tenant can be adjudicated. feel free to contact for any legal advice.

Since the rental agreement has already expired and was not renewed, your tenant is currently occupying the premises without a valid contract. Non-payment of rent for three months gives you legal grounds to act. 1. Send them a legal notice demanding the payments of the arrears and you can either ask them to vacate or renew the agreement. 2. If they fail to comply you can proceed with civil suit. 3. Until then, avoid accepting partial payment or informal assignments. Thank You
