Reading: My tenant hasn’t paid rent for the past two months, despite a month’s notice to vacate. He’s paid a small amount, but refuses to leave. He also hasn’t paid utility bills and the building is under the registrar due to society issues. I locked the flat, but the secretary is asking my brother to unlock it for the tenant. Can the secretary interfere in this? Can I request the tenant to vacate urgently since the building is under the registrar? I need advice.

The secretary has no right to interfere in your property, and your brother should not unlock the flat. You can file an eviction suit against the tenant in court. As the building is under the registrar, you can request the tenant to vacate urgently citing the ongoing issues as a reason for immediate termination of the lease.
