In the event of a tenant staying without paying rent or is not ready to vacate the property, evicting them can be extremely stressful for the landlord. The eviction of a tenant by a landlord is, however, prohibited by a number of state laws in India.
How long can a tenant stay without paying rent?A tenant should never occupy a rented home without paying the rent. To continue living in a landlord's property, a renter must pay rent. To expect to remain in a rented home without paying rent is against the law on the tenant's end.
I would like to mention a few grounds for eviction of a tenant in India:
A mutually agreed-upon rent payment has been purposefully delayed by the renter for more than 15 days.
Without asking the landlord beforehand or making a formal written request, the renter sublet a rental unit to another person.
The tenant has utilised rented space for improper uses or uses not covered by the rental agreement.
Any action taken by the tenant has reduced the property's utility or value.
The landlord has received a complaint against the tenant because the neighbourhood finds the tenant's behaviour to be undesirable.
For an unidentified cause, the renter has wilfully challenged the landlord's ownership of the rented home.
The landlord requires the property for either their own use or the use of any family members.
In order to make repairs and renovations, the landlord needs to vacate the property, which is not possible otherwise.
The property will need to be demolished because the landlord wants to build another one there.
The ideal lease agreement would outline what to do if the rent is not paid or what needs to be done if the tenant staying without paying rent. However, in all state tenancy legislation, failure to pay the required rent is one of the common reasons for evicting a tenant. The renter in question could receive a formal notice outlining the rent that is due, requesting compliance or eviction, and outlining the next steps you'll take if they don't comply.
