I’m a single mother, living with my mom and son in a rented house. We paid a four-month deposit and signed a two-year lease. Due to some family troubles, I fell behind on rent for three months. I’ve offered to pay the current month’s rent and gradually clear the arrears, but the landlord wants us to vacate. Any advice on how to navigate this situation?

Under Indian law, a landlord can’t terminate a lease solely for late rent without providing a notice and reasonable time to clear the arrears. You should try to negotiate with the landlord, highlighting your willingness to pay and the circumstances causing the delay. If they insist on eviction, consult a lawyer to explore your legal options and ensure the process is followed correctly.
