INTRODUCTION

As the nomenclature may suggest, an eviction notice is a notice sent by a landlord to the tenant, demanding occupation. In other words, the landlord seeks to evict the tenant from the leased or rented property and reattain occupation and enjoyment rights. Such notice communicates the termination of tenancy agreement.

As per Indian Laws, an eviction notice must state and justify the reason for such eviction and also provide for reasonable time for compliance.

PROCESS

  1. Notice to Tenant: The eviction notice has to be filed and delivered via the court having jurisdiction. Such notice should mention the reason, time and date by which such eviction must take place.
  2. Eviction Suit: If the tenant defaults compliance to such eviction notice, the landlord can file an eviction suit with a civil court having appropriate jurisdiction. Subsequent to the proceedings, if it the court is satisfied, the tenant would be served a final eviction notice, failure of compliance to which could attract contempt of court proceedings and punishments.
