A few years back, I had rented out my space to a shop. However, I was planning to use the shop for my business. So under this ground, I was able to evict my commercial tenant in an amicable manner. If you are wondering how to evict a commercial tenant, I can share a few legal grounds for the same.

How Do I Evict a Commercial Tenant?

The landlord can only evict the commercial tenant in the following circumstances:
  • The landlord can evict the tenant if he is required to demonstrate that the tenant has a different place to conduct business.
  • The landlord may deliver an eviction notice to a tenant who does not pay rent for a predetermined amount of time.  
  • If the other party has clearly broken any of the provisions of the contract, the aggrieved party can specifically dissolve the agreement under the Contract Act. For this reason, the landlord must make sure that the agreement reflects their expectations of the tenant.
  • The landlord can evict the commercial tenant if he is making use of the property for any unauthorised or criminal activities. As per the Contracts Act, any contract entered with an individual engaged in illicit activity is null and void from the beginning.
  • In the event that damage is done to rented property, even if it isn't specifically stated in the agreement, it is grounds for immediate eviction because it constitutes vandalism, which is prohibited, particularly if the harm was purposeful or unavoidable.
  • The landlord can evict the commercial tenant if they themselves require the space. For the landlord to demonstrate this, they must show;
  1. The landlord is making use of a rental property for his business.
  2. Additionally, he finds the aforementioned premises to be economical and convenient.
