The elderly woman can file an eviction case against the tenant under the relevant provisions of the Rent Control Act or the Transfer of Property Act. She can also seek a restraining order against the tenant’s sons if their behavior poses a threat. To reduce legal costs, she may consider seeking legal aid or representing herself with the assistance of a lawyer.
