tenant sents suit, claiming 5 Lakh, is it possible?


03-May-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
I had rented a shop for a sweet and snacks stall and entered into 11 months agreement. After 7 months I personally served 2 months notice for vacating 3 shops i owned for my own purpose of the premise for starting a business. This particular sweet and snacks shop tenant is not vacating, I had several meetings with him but he is still postponing with requesting 1 more month and this has now reach 5 months. I finally cut the power supply, he made a CSR police complaint, and after discussion, he confirmed to vacate in 1 month and gave a written statement in the police station hence i released electricity and also I served a legal notice to him to vacate by April 19th. He replied on 18th April with notice claiming he had losses of 5 lakh bec of vacating, he claims 5 lakhs. Finally 29th April he had sent suit & applied ad -interim. I had to rush on 30th April for appearing with a lawyer. What should I do further? this falls in munsiple court rural, ponneri, tiruvallur district, Tamilnadu.

In this case, better wait for some patience because if the tenant can prefer RCOP against you and further you gave rent for commercial purposes. I have a vast practice in that area you can seek my assistance in your matter.

file a suit for eviction the court will order eviction within three months and for the period of 3 months the court will also grant double x the rent at the fine for the tenant so you can proceed as per the law which is benefit for the landlord so don't believe on the words of the tenant or use notice or use injunction suit
