Yes, landlord can initiate eviction proceedings against tenant on ground of personal bonafie necessity and default in making payments of rent.

The landlord can file a suit for eviction on the grounds of requirement for self use and his age and non availability of lift facilities will be strong grounds for him to argue his case accordingly.
