Dear Client,
Since your notarized rental agreement has expired on [deleted] and your tenant is being abusive and notvacating, you should act fast and go for legal action to prevent trouble. Here's what you must do:
1. What If the Agreement Is Not Renewed and the Tenant StillRemains?
Once the agreement expires, the tenant is an unauthorized occupant and has no basis in law to remain.
If rent is accepted after expiry, he canassert tenancy rights and eviction becomes complicated.
2. Can You Issue a Notice to Vacate? How Much Time Must You Provide?
Yes, you can issue a lawful notice of eviction under the Assam Urban Areas Tenancy Act, 2015, allowing 15 to 30 days' time for departure.
Make sure the notice is issued byregistered post with acknowledgment and a copy is pasted on his door for record.
3. What Kind of Troubles Can the Tenant Cause?
Refuse to vacate & assert tenant rights, leading to a prolonged legal battle.
File a fake harassment complaint to delay eviction.
Damage the property in revenge.
Refuse to pay rent but stay on the premises, leading to money loss.

After the notice period has lapsed, file an eviction suit in the local civil court under:
