I have a tenant at my factory in delhi
on 1st floor since 2014 and the ground floor is with me ..the agreement is general notary registered and expired in 2016,since then the tenant is not vacating the premises ,he has not paid rent and electricity bill since last six months that amounts to 9 lakhs rupees ,I am paying heavy bill amount every month ,I am afraid to file case in court because it will take 4-5 years and create harassment and stress and the judgement is unknown .please suggest what to do
Firstly, serve a legal notice to your tenant for eviction through an advocate. Default in paying the rent is a ground for eviction. If he fails to adhere, you can file a petition for eviction before the rent controller. Your tenant's leave to defend would be rejected, if he's not paying any rent at all and the agreement has also lapsed, so, it won't take 4-5 years.
