The landlord can initiate eviction proceedings in a civil court under the relevant provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. They can also seek a police complaint for trespass and criminal intimidation. It’s crucial to document all communication, including emails, notices, and altered agreements, for court proceedings.
