Tenant not paying rent for past 4 months
Sir,
I had let out my flat to a person in Nagpur - Maharashtra, as per the agreement due to expire in August 2013, the tenant works in a PSU bank and had stopped paying the rent post the agreement expired, citing that in absence of a valid agreement, the rent cannot be paid. I did not want to extend the tenancy and as per agreement, gave the tenant notice to vacate the house 2 months in advance, however, they cited one or other reasons to not vacate and insisted on extending the lease if I really want to get paid. Budging to the pressure, I agreed and drafted a new agreement, with the same matter and new dates and sent to the tenant, now this time the reply I got is that the bank wont accept the agreement in its form and it has to be made in a prescribed format, which was never shared in the past 3 years.
When I spoke with the bank, they say that its a matter between the employee and his landlord and they cannot do anything about it.
Now I want to start the eviction process and would like to know how do I go about. I had already sent the agreement signed by me to them, which is still with them, and not signed or submitted to the bank yet.
Please advice
Regards

=======NOTICE SENT ON 26-NOV-2013========================
To
Ms XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
503, XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX, Nagpur - 440033
Premises Vacation Notice – 503, XXXXXXXX Apartments, Nagpur
As you are aware that the agreement dated 19-Feb-2013 that grants the tenancy for extended period till 31-August-2013 has expired with no further extension permissible, and as of date (28-November-2013) the rent is overdue from the months of August 2013 till November 2013 along with other mandatory charges applied by the association.
Further to our discussion over the phone on reclamation of the property for my personal use and repeated pleas starting February-2013, to vacate, it is proposed that you need to vacate the property by 31-January-2014, as per your request to allow you to stay for some more time due to your absence from the town and on ‘humane’ grounds, I have granted you additional two months, from 1-Dec-2013 to find an alternate accommodation.
This notice is to remind you the due date by which you need to vacate the house, and reply in writing the confirmation to vacate the house or state the reasons why it cannot be done by 31-Jan-2014 and when can it be vacated – with firm date, if at all.
Furthermore, it is required to fix the termite problem in the locked room and hence, you need to provide access to the same by being present or handing over a duplicate set of keys to my representative to carry out the necessary pest control activities IMMEDIATELY. This is an urgent matter as the pest problem is damaging the house and has already severed the house due to the house being non-accessible for over EIGHT MONTHS now.
If no response to this notice is received within ONE WEEK of receipt, it is deemed that you accept to vacate the house by 31-January-2014 without any conditions and clear all outstanding dues including the rent till that time.
