My tenant moved into my flat in June 2017. He gave me post-dated checks, but they started bouncing from the first month itself. He paid for June in cash, but then promised to pay for two more months and gave another check, which also bounced. I don’t want him living in my flat anymore. What legal steps can I take?

You can legally evict your tenant as he has breached the rental agreement by failing to make timely payments. You need to issue a legal notice to vacate within a reasonable timeframe, and if he doesn’t comply, you can file an eviction suit in the appropriate court.

My landlord and I signed a one-year lease agreement in December 2013, with a minimum stay of three months. I gave a month’s notice via SMS and phone calls that I’ll be moving out next month. However, he hasn’t responded or answered my calls. The number is a mobile number, so I can’t track him down. The agreement is notarized but not registered. What should I do?

Our family in Mumbai faced a difficult situation when the tenants above us installed a bathtub without any permission from the BMC or our building society. This caused a heavy leak, filling six buckets of water every three hours, which eventually led to our ceiling plaster collapsing and injuring my 82-year-old father. We filed a police complaint against the tenant. My 70-year-old mother, who had recently undergone eye surgery, politely asked the tenant’s wife to look into the leak, but she rudely slammed the door in her face. This angered me, and I shared a picture of the damage on my Facebook with a message about the “torture” inflicted on senior citizens by a teacher from a local school. Within two days, the leak was repaired, but the tenants retaliated by filing a police complaint against me under section 501.
