Non-payment of rent is a substantial ground for seeking eviction. There is no nexus between non-payment of rent by the tenant and the owner's obligation to pay tax.

Think of such a remedy at the earliest, contact a local advocate, issue eviction notice, and file a suit for eviction as immediately as possible.   Your advocate can guide you further.

Issue notice to tenant for payment of outstanding rent (within limitation) followed by eviction petition in the competent and jurisdictional court
