Electricity and water are basic necessities.

 

You have filed the case. The disconnection of electricity is forced and unfair means.

The tenant can file in consumer forum and shall get the connection. In one such case the tenant has got the connection thru consumer forum and now other tenants are filing quoting the same decision.

For electricity bill payment tenant can ask you to supply the usage charges on your letterhead with copy of the bill and can opt to pay by cheque.

What is the decision of the court in your case? Now there are enough remedies available to landlords also for getting the premises vacated.

Disconnection of electricity is not a good idea at all.

he can apply for new connection.

Parveen Kr. Aggarwal (Advocate)     11 April 2011

In almost all the Rent Control Acts in India, the tenant has got a legal right to get the electricity connection restored through court. So, you are not going to be benefitted so far as the eviction case filed by you is concerned. The Court may form adverse opinion against you and in case the eviction case is based on the ground of bona fide personal necessity, your case will certainly be affected adversely.

you shud have not doen this mr kapil have faith in the legal process, dont give room to ill advises. immedietly try to restore the connection. Mr praveen is right that the court may from an adverse opinion about u and ur bonafides. tenancy issues are a test of bonafides. shocase ur necessity for reposession u dont have to do anything more. chk into yur tenancy enactment and try to fnd out wr there is any time stipulation for disposal, if the case is not getting disposed u can get directions from the high court for dsiposal of the case.

Sir,

i am a landlord since long. the tenants are  defaulters since more than 10 years. they neither have any agreement nor any rent receipt for this period. i dont want to rent my property anymore. how do i get it vacated?

plz help..

It shall be appropriate to show all the documents of the property to the competent and experienced lawyer in your city and decided your course of action with proper legal advice.

can it go in my favour..

Manikantan (junior)     23 April 2011

Mr Anish kindly consult a local lawyer becos the rent control laws are essentially state subjects and might vary from state to state. but generally speeking to prove tenancy there is no need to show any agreement. in most cases there is attronment. thus even a monthly rent paying tenant would come within the ambit of the Act. If the tenant commits default and the same is wilful you can get him evicted. if you do not want to let it any further then ask him to vacate on the ground that you need the house for your own oucupation.

Kapil, It's hard to give any advice without knowing the details of your case.

If the tanent can provide an Updated Rent Receipt (The Latest one), then the Landlord will seldom success in claiming  any arrear of previous Rents.

If the Tanent cannot do so and didn't deposit the past Rent in Court, then he will be termed as a Defaulter.
