Tenant not vacating the house what legal action can I take

530 votes

First of all you should ascertain the ownership of the property. If it was your father's property then upon his intestate death all the legal heirs shall be entitled to a share in the property therefore all the legal heirs are joint owners. Under this situation, one person should get an authorisation from all other heirs either by a letter or by a GPA deed to maintain and manage the property on behalf of all. Then you should issue a legal notice asking him to vacate the property owing to the reasons that you may have. If he is not responding or refusing to vacate, file an eviction suit on the same grounds.
