My tenant is not vacating after expiry of agreement
I have been trying to get my tenant to vacate my property for over a year now however due to COVID he kept on asking for an extension on humanitarian grounds. In June 2021, we signed a final renewal for three months to vacate at the end of September - however he is not going to as there has been non movement to leave the property. He has hardly made payments on time and there have bee many instances that their electricity has also been disconnected due to non payment. I am 76 years old and cannot continue to take this harassment. What is the legal recourse possible especially after the agreement.
