Tenant eviction is one of the most stressful situations landlords face. Whether a tenant stops paying rent, damages property or violates the rental agreement, eviction must follow a legal process.
Attempting to remove a tenant illegally can result in legal penalties and civil cases. This guide explains the **legal eviction process in India step-by-step**.
The first step is issuing a formal eviction notice to the tenant. The notice period is typically 30-90 days depending on the agreement.
If the tenant refuses to vacate the property, the landlord must file an eviction suit in the civil court under the applicable rent control laws.
The court evaluates evidence such as rental agreements, payment history and communication records before issuing an eviction order.
