I bought a property in 2014 to build my own home, as I’m still living in a rented house where the previous owner’s tenant ran a liquor store. After buying the property, we served a legal notice to vacate, but he refused. We filed an eviction case, and his lawyer initially appeared in court. However, he stopped attending for three consecutive hearings during cross-examination. What are the next steps in the court proceedings? We haven’t demanded rent from the tenant, only claiming minimal damages.

Since the tenant has repeatedly defaulted on court hearings during cross-examination, you can apply for an ex-parte order for his eviction. The court may issue an order directing the tenant to vacate the property within a specified time frame. You can then proceed with executing the order with the help of the court and police if necessary.

My apartment building owner hasn’t paid the delayed rent penalty for the past 3 years. I moved in last month after registering, but the electricity hasn’t been connected despite applying for it. Now, the owner wants us to sign a proposal form to form an association, but amenities are incomplete and only 12 out of 15 floors are finished. What should I do?

My father rented out a small shop in 2006 to an astrologer. After his passing, I renewed the lease agreement every 10 months. However, the tenant never returned the original agreement my father signed. He claims it’s lost and even wrote that in the new agreements. If he stays longer, could he cause legal trouble or refuse to leave? How can I seek legal advice to prevent future issues and have solid proof in case of legal action?

We’ve been renting a house and paid a 1 lakh deposit to the landlord. Now, he’s asking us to leave, claiming we waste water. Our lease expired, and we weren’t planning to renew as we were moving. The landlord says we owe rent for another month because he hasn’t found a new tenant. But our agreement states a two-month notice period, not two months’ rent. Can he demand rent? Also, our lease expired – is it still valid?

My grandmother rented two rooms to a family about 40 years ago. The tenant passed away years back, and now his son, along with his wife and 3 children, are living there. They own two other houses where the remaining family members stay. We’ve tried multiple times to reclaim those rooms, but they consistently refuse. We only have one room, with six family members, including my two brothers and sister, all of whom are of marriageable age but facing difficulties due to this situation. We can’t afford the exorbitant rent they demand, and whenever we try to discuss it, they resort to verbal abuse.

We rented out our house and took a two-month advance. The tenants requested several changes we couldn’t accommodate. Now, after just 15 days, they want a full refund. We lost money due to their delay. Should we pay the full advance or deduct the rent for the 15 days they stayed? They never signed an agreement.
