Ask tenant to vacate premises as agreement has expired and pay arrears of rentals
2) if he refuses file eviction suit against tenant
My flat is in Bangalore. I am the sole owner of the property. It’s on a home loan with LIC. I have rented it out. My rent agreement lapsed in July 2020 and both the tenant and I forgot to renew it. Now the tenant has not paid any rent to me last month Aug’20 and this month also the tenants want me to reduce the rent by 50%. I am in hyderabad and feeling helpless as they are blackmailing me it seems. What should I do what are my legal rights. Thank you. Arijit Banerjee [deleted]

Dear Client,
You may send a legal Notice to the Tenant for payment of Rent and Possession. If he dont pay after recieving the same, you may file a case for Rent Recovery and Eviction.
Thank you Sethi sahab. Just wanted to add I have their security deposit with me. Should I deduct the rent from that deposit and return whatever is left as per the agreement? Can the eviction notice be filed from here in Hyderabad or do i need to file it in bangalore if they don’t vacate?
Send legal notice of eviction and payment of rent.
Expiry of rent agrement dose not cease right of owner to receive rent neither tenant can refuse to pay.
Your right to receive rent is intact even after expiry of agreement. Tenant cannot refuse or demand reduction of rent.
Hi,it is advisable to issue a legal notice for eviction and recovery of due rent ..Yes ,the notice can be issued from Hyderabad..However,legal eviction suit will be filed in Bangalore
Eviction notice can be sent from Hyderabad
you can deduct rentals and refund balance security deposit at time tenant vacated premises
Even if you didn't renew the agreement once you accept the rent from the tenant the tenancy would be deemed to have been renewed.
Now you have 2 options-
Either to terminate the tenancy by sending him eviction notice or
To adjust the rent from security deposit and renew the agreement with or without modification of rent amount.
- After expiry of the rent agreement , now the status of tenant is month to month basis , and the said tenant cannot refuse to pay the rent .
- Further , the said tenant cannot claim force meajure due to Covid-19, and bond to pay the rent regularly , and the said tenant cannot ask to reduce the rent due to any reasons.
- You should issue a legal demand notice to the said tenant , and if refused then ask to vacate the premises .
- If you having security deposit with you , then you are liable to adjust the arrears of rent from the same legally after informing the tenant .
- You can issue eviction notice from your place as well, but the eviction petition will file in Bangalore.
You can send him a legal notice and then file eviction suit against them. They need to pay you the outstanding rent even after lapsing of agreement.
If you want your premises back then you have to issue a termination notice
However since the original agreement was not renewed, the terms therein as applicable for issuing termination notice will apply
If tenant does not vacate after expiry of period stated in termination notice then you will have to file an eviction suit
If they have not paid rent for the period after expiry then you can always deduct from their SD and balance can be refunded upon simultaneous handover of possession by them to you
The termination notice can be sent from anywhere. Even on email or WhatsApp.
If they don't relent then you can claim damages for period of overstay in addition to rent in the eviction suit to be filed
You issue a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the rented premise since the rental agreement has expired long back and he not shown any interest to either renew the rental agreement or intimated his intention to vacate the premise on the expiration of the current rental agreement.
You can also demand the monthly rental amount till such period he is occupying the premise and also inform him the if he is not vacating the premise within one month then he can be declared as an unauthorized occupant and criminal trespasser, hence liable for criminal action also if he is not vacating within the stipulated period.
After that you can initiate proper legal action to evict him from the premise, by first giving a complaint with the police for the reason ' criminal trespasser'.
You can deduct the outstanding or arrears of monthly rental amount from the deposit amount.
You can issue the legal notice demanding him to vacate from Hyderabad itself.
