Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a difficult situation where a tenant is neither paying rent nor vacating a shop, and there's no registered rent agreement. The landlord sent a legal notice for 15 months of rent arrears, but the tenant claims to have paid and accuses the landlord of disconnecting electricity, which was never officially connected to the shop. The tenant is also playing the victim card, claiming financial losses due to the neighbours cutting off her unofficial electricity supply. Advice suggests filing a suit for rent recovery and eviction, alongside complaints to the electricity department and police regarding the false accusations and unauthorised electricity usage.

Tenant refused to sign registered rent agreement despite repeated requests. She is playing victim card by saying she is educated and unemployed women and sole breadwinner of her family. She also replied to our notice saying she is suffering loss of 4000 Rs per day because of no electricity.
