My tenant, a man and his family, hasn’t been paying rent or the full deposit as agreed. Now, he refuses to move out even after we asked him to. We should’ve had a written contract, but he didn’t pay the full deposit yet. Will the police help if I report this?

Under Indian law, the police may not intervene directly in a landlord-tenant dispute regarding unpaid rent or non-compliance with the lease agreement. However, you can file a civil case in court seeking eviction based on breach of the lease agreement. It’s important to have evidence of the unpaid rent and the deposit agreement, even if not formally signed.
