How to evict a tenant after nonfulfillment of rent.


29-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
My tenant is not paying the rent from last 4 months. He always gives the excuse that he has no job right now and he can't pay the dues. And when we say him to empty the flat he says he has no money so how he could shift to another house. So what should we do, shall we go with the police or shall we forcibly make him out from the house?is there is any legal formality which we have to complete before compelling him to empty the house.

If you need to evict your tenant, non-payment of rent is perhaps the strongest case you could have. An eviction notice is the first legal action for a landlord looking to remove his/her tenant. If the tenant fails to comply with the notice, you may file a case for eviction of the tenant. In India, for a variety of reasons, tenancy laws tend to be tougher on the landlord than the tenant. Your eviction notice should be to the point. It should also stick to the facts, or your tenant could end up using your own notice against you.
Always strongly indicate the reason for the eviction. Inform the tenant how he or she has violated the terms of the lease. This should include the landlord’s business, the tenant’s name and the date of the lease. The letter should then go into detail as to reason why the tenant is in violation of his lease. You can’t give the tenant no recourse whatsoever. You need to list steps that the tenant must take to remedy the situation and a deadline for the same. For eviction due to non-payment of rent, which is the most common cause of eviction, a 15-day notice is required
