Imagine this: A family in Uttar Pradesh has been leasing a plot of land for 15 years. The lease agreement, a registered document, states a symbolic rent of just one rupee per year. However, no rent has been paid for all these years. The agreement also states the landowner can reclaim the land if rent isn’t paid.
Now, the owner wants to reclaim their land. What’s the minimum notice period they need to give the tenant before demanding possession? Is it 15 days, a month, or six months?
Also, if the owner goes to court to evict the tenant, how much will the court fees be? Will it be based on the agreed rent of one rupee, or on the actual value of the land?

In this case, the landowner can reclaim the land as the tenant has not paid the rent as per the agreement. The minimum notice period for reclaiming the land is 15 days, as per the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The court fees for eviction will be based on the actual value of the land, not the symbolic rent of one rupee.
