My house has been home to two families for the past 18 years, running their business from the front portion. We never had a formal agreement, but now I’m planning to sell to help my daughter with her medical expenses. The tenants are hesitant to leave, though. What’s the best way to handle this situation and get them to move out?

Under Indian law, your tenants have no legal right to stay if you’re selling the property. You can issue a notice to vacate, specifying a reasonable timeframe for them to leave. However, it’s advisable to discuss the situation amicably and offer them assistance in finding a new location, especially given the long-standing arrangement.
