Tenants not vacating house

Every state has its own rent laws that provide for grounds and remedy for eviction of a tenant. Contact a good local lawyer and give a legal notice to the tenant for recovering back the possession for non payment of rent.

Hello,

Since you have said that the tenant is paying rent at the rate of Rs. 1000/- per month for the past around 10 -11 years, it would just and proper for you to file appropriate proceedings for fixation of fair rent for all these years which would automatically drive the tenant out of your premises.

Irrespective of opinions of other friends every state rent act provides for misniscule increase and that too not from restopective effect. It will be applicable only after you demand.

Regarding non payment of rent first you have to prove that rent is not paid thereafter also courts grants as a rule time to pay due rent.

The rent acts are in favor of tanents and not for landlords.

It's a well known fact that most of the tenants are covered under Rent Control Act of that state. These tenants have paid goodwill (Pagdi) in cash at the prevailing rates to the land lords at the then prevailing rates and no recepts are issued for the same. It is therefore unjust to ask the tenants to vacate the premises which they have been using for years. If you wish to sell you may sell the property if money is the only cause of dispute.

you can get the fair rent fixed at a rate equal to rent of a similar building in the similar locality.  You may refer to kerala High court cases. Edger ferus v. Abraham Ittycheria, Abooker v. Vasu, and Lakshmi v. Labbah Kunju Ameer (2005 (3) KLT 627)

The rent Acts are not in favour of Tenants or landlords threre are provisions which are in favour of landlords and some in favour of tenants.  Refer to Karnataka Rent Control Act 2001

Irrespective of your opinion Bobby Mani sir, you have given valuable contribution by refering the Keral HC citation. Please attach it as a file for guidance of all.
