Overview of Tenant Eviction Notice
Eviction is the legal process by which a landlord or property owner orders a tenant to vacate the premises for a valid reason. Landlords may issue an eviction notice for causes such as failure to pay rent, breach of lease terms, non-payment of charges, or illegal activities. Since rent laws vary by state in India, landlords must follow due legal procedures before eviction. The initial step involves serving a formal eviction notice detailing the reason and time frame for vacating the property.
What are Eviction Laws in India?
The Rent Control Act governs rental properties across India and defines the rights and duties of landlords and tenants. Rental and lease agreements work similarly by allowing possession transfer for a defined period. The Act ensures a structured rental relationship and lays out the procedures for legal eviction.
