Defamation against tenant

(Querist) 28 August 2016 This query is : Resolved 
Dear sir,
We own a property which has been lent for lease for 2 years and now we are trying to dispose it off due to an emergency. But the tenant has spread a rumor that it is haunted and keeps telling to prospective buyers not to buy as it is a haunted house. as a result of which, we are unable to find any buyer.
The other tenants in the property do not experience any kind of fear and know quite well that she is doing it purposely so that it is not sold before her tenancy expires..
Having with us 2 or 3 or more legot witnesses, can we sue the tenant for defamation or claim damages?

Spreading rumour stating as it is a haunted house is not a crime for filing defamation case.
Consult a local lawyer with Lease & Licence agreement for immediate eviction of tenant.

Your individual efforts seem to have made no effect.


Lean on a very able counsel to evict the tenant.
