Landlord-tenant relationships involve a delicate balance between property ownership rights and statutory tenancy protections under rent control and property enactments.
Key Legal Takeaway
Evicting a tenant requires establishing recognized statutory grounds such as persistent default in rent payment, bona fide personal requirement of the landlord, substantial structural alteration, or expiry of lease term after valid Section 106 notice.
1. Termination of Lease under Section 106 TPA
Serving a formal 15-day notice for residential tenancies or 6-month notice for agricultural/manufacturing leases terminating tenancy.
2. Eviction on Grounds of Arrears of Rent
Failure to pay rent after service of statutory demand notice constitutes a primary ground for instituting eviction proceedings.
3. Bona Fide Personal Requirement
Landlords can seek possession for self-occupation or family business, provided the need is genuine and not a pretext to hike rent.
4. Summary Eviction Procedures and Mesne Profits
During suit pendency, landlords can apply for directions ordering the tenant to deposit monthly market-rate use and occupation charges (mesne profits).
