My tenant has stopped paying rent and won't leave. What can I do?
Send a written notice ending the tenancy and asking for the arrears. Depending on the rent and the area, the case goes to the Rent Controller or to the civil court as a suit for possession.
Can I cut the electricity or water to make the tenant leave?
No. Cutting off essential supplies isn't allowed. Only a court can order an eviction.
What if the landlord says they need the house for themselves?
A landlord can ask for the premises back if they genuinely need them for themselves or their family. Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, the tenant must first get the court's leave to contest it.
