Can a Tenant Refuse to Vacate the Rented Property? 🤔🚪 #TenantRights #RentalLaw #PropertyDisputes
You rented out your flat/shop to a tenant with a proper rental agreement, but now they refuse to vacate even after the lease period is over! 😡 What can a landlord do legally? 🏛️
✅ The Short Answer: A Tenant Can’t Stay Without Legal Grounds!
Under Indian tenancy laws, a tenant must vacate the property if:
✔️ The rental agreement has expired 📜
✔️ A legal eviction notice has been served 📩
✔️ The tenant violates terms (e.g., non-payment of rent, illegal activities) 🚫
✔️ The landlord needs the property for personal use 🏠
