My brother lives in the US and has rented out part of his flat. The tenant hasn’t paid rent for the last 5 months, despite repeated requests and extensions. We’ve tried to be understanding, but he keeps delaying payment. Can we take legal action against him?

As your brother resides in the US, the legal jurisdiction for the rental agreement is in the US. Indian laws do not apply in this case. You should consult a lawyer in the US to understand the applicable laws and available legal options for recovering unpaid rent.
