Under Indian law, the landlord has a strong case for eviction due to non-payment of rent. The tenant’s failure to pay rent both to the landlord and the court strengthens the landlord’s claim.

My landlord asked me to leave the house by March 31st, 2017, and we agreed verbally in November 2016. The old agreement ended on December 31st, 2016. Now, I’ve told him I’ll leave by January 31st, and he’s okay with that. However, when I asked about my deposit, he said he’d pay on the day I leave. In the past, he’s deducted money from tenants’ deposits without any explanation, and he only accepts cash for rent. Since he might give me less than what I’m owed, what should I do? He’s an ex-serviceman, and I want to ensure I receive my full deposit according to the agreement that expired on December 31st, 2016.

My tenant in Vikaspuri, Delhi, forged a lease agreement using a company’s letterhead. After our 10-month lease ended, they refused to leave. I took them to court in Tis Hazari, including the company, but the court cleared the company as they confirmed the tenant wasn’t employed by them. The court ruled in my favor, ordering the tenant to pay outstanding rent and vacate by 15th March 2015. The rent was due by 15th January 2015, but they haven’t paid or vacated. I’m planning to file for execution with police assistance. How long can they legally stay in my property despite the court order?

My tenant hasn’t paid rent for the past two months, despite a month’s notice to vacate. He’s paid a small amount, but refuses to leave. He also hasn’t paid utility bills and the building is under the registrar due to society issues. I locked the flat, but the secretary is asking my brother to unlock it for the tenant. Can the secretary interfere in this? Can I request the tenant to vacate urgently since the building is under the registrar? I need advice.

I’m feeling really stressed out. Two families in my building keep trying to make me feel bad. They want me to clean the corridor every other day, but even when I do, they keep making rude comments in front of my friends. They’re much older than me, so it’s hard to speak up. I even suggested a cleaning lady, but they said they can’t afford it. The landlord said he’d talk to them, but it’s still happening. I’m scared and can’t focus on anything anymore. What can I do?

I’ve been living in a rented flat in Mumbai since November 2014, with my agreement expiring on August 31st. We were four tenants, each paying a security deposit of ₹15,000. Everyone paid online except me, as I didn’t have internet banking then. We vacated the flat in August 2015, but the landlord is refusing to return my security deposit, claiming I lack proof of payment. The agreement clearly mentions my cash payment, signed by her. I’ve been hoping she’d reconsider, but she’s adamant. What legal options do I have to get my deposit back?
