Hi, We have a house property in Delhi. Around 1987 we let out ground floor of our house to a tenant on a monthly rent of Rs.125 and security deposit of Rs. 1 Lac. There was no specified duration in the contract. Now We want to reposses our property but the tenant is asking for Rs. 1200000 or property anywhere in Old Delhi. Please guide me how can I proceed with this matter to get our house vacant.riven

Shivank Ji, to get ur house vacated the best remedy is to move under Rent Act (as applicable to Delhi), and take a ground of personal necessasity.
we dont know how many houses u ve in Delhi and but if it is an additional one then try to make out a ground that either u or few memebers of ur family need the premises for their own need.
its been a tendency among tenants to harrass landlords...better visit ur local lawyer and apprise him of full facts, need not to worry.riven

i think Madam Dureja has given u the best possible advice.
the best ground for eviction purpose is bonafide need or personal necessasity....certainly the Delhi Rent control Act will be applicable.
for detailed discussion pls consult ur local lawyer.riven
