Quick Summary

If a tenant in Kolkata has failed to pay rent for eight months, you can take legal action. It is advisable to first issue a formal legal notice demanding the outstanding rent. If the tenant does not comply with the notice, you have grounds to file an eviction suit with the court.

Issue a legal notice to pay the rent for 8 months and if he does not respond, file an eviction suit in a court of law.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 30 March 2026
Not paying the monthly rental even in an oral rental agreement amounts to willful default, hence you can very well file an eviction suit to evict him.

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 01 April 2026
Yes,you can file eviction petition on ground of default in making payment of rent..

Why did you continue him as your tenant when you did not get rent for 8 months, file an eviction petition if the tenant do not oblige legal notice.
