My shop in Ahmedabad has been rented out for the past 8 years, and I’ve been renewing the lease every 11 months and 29 days. Now I need to get it back, and I gave a 3-month verbal notice. The tenant wants a 6-month notice, saying he can’t find another shop. Do I have any options for getting my shop back quickly? Is there a fast legal process? I heard there’s legal help, but it can take a long time.

Under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the standard notice period for terminating a lease is 15 days, unless a different period is agreed upon in the lease agreement. Since your agreement is renewed every 11 months and 29 days, you might not have a strong legal basis for a shorter notice. You can file a case for eviction in court, but it’s advisable to seek legal counsel to understand your specific rights and options for a faster resolution.
