cAN I EVICT FAMILY MEMBER FROM MY PROPERT

My mother owns a property in varanasi which has got 9 rooms. she has given 5 rooms on rent without lease agreement. In one of the 5 rooms my mother's younger brother is staying with his family and we are not collecting any rent as they are financially not sound. Recently we thought of selling that property and now he is creating nuisance and threatening us not to sell the property and also when we asked him to vaccate he is simply refusing. Kindly advice us what to do in this regard.

You can serve him a notice terminating the tenancy with immediate effect. Hopefully the property is exclusively in the name of the mother. Lease agreements can be documented or oral also. Though you are not collecting any rent due to his financial constraints,it will not create any ownership right upon him. He can always be treated as a trespasser. You need to terminate the tenancy with immediate effect. You also need to check if the water and electricity meter is in his name or not.

Your uncle is not a tenant under the Rent Laws as prevalent in your state as there is no rent agreement or rent receipt issued. The occupier does not have a right, title or interest in the property. You as the owners of the property have to take a call in case you want to sell the property. This can be settled by talking to the occupier considering the fact that the occupier is your uncle who is not paying any rent. In case he still refuses to vacate the premises then please send him a legal notice to evict and thereafter file a suit for eviction.

From the facts furnished by you it is not clear whether your uncle is a tenant. You have to clarify whether your uncle paid rent to your mother at any time in the past and if that is so your mother can file an eviction petition on the ground of non-payment of rent. In case your uncle never paid any rent, a legal notice should be issued on behalf of the owner, i.e., your mother asking your uncle to handover the vacant possession of the property and, thereafter, a suit for eviction should be filed.

PCC encroachment matter

Hi, I have constructed a house on my rayati land in 2022 and there is a 5 feet PCC road in front of house which was laid down under chief minister regional development scheme in 2014-2015 on the rayati land of other parties. They didn't show any objection during the construction of PCC road but now after several years when I constructed my house they have put brick wall on pcc road completely blocking my passage out of house. A writ petition 6580/20204 was filed in honourable patna high court where honourable court issued direction that if a petition will be filed under provision of bihar public land encroachment act 1956, the circle officer will consider same and take appropriate action but after filing petition to CO they didn't take any action and made a report that the PCC road constructed over rayati land hence no action can be taken under bihar public land encroachment act 1956. Please suggest what shall I do next as I am not able to reside in my house due to blocked passage. Thank you, Saurav

Tenant has no rights on rental property as per rental agreement. Can owner start using the property though tenant is not vacating.

We have a rental agreement for a commercial property and registered it with https://www.tenancy.tn.gov.in/ for a period of 11 months. Rental agreement has a condition that on breach of rental conditions (default on rent payment) or termination of rental agreement, tenant has no rights on the rented premises. Tenant didn't pay rent for 6+ months and the tenant agreed in a written statement to vacate the property by the end of last month but failed to vacate. My question is, Since the tenant has no rights to the rented property as per rental agreement, can we start using our property and remove his belongings? Can we file a police complaint for trespassing into our property and preventing us from entering our property? Can we file a complaint with the Tamilnadu rent authority? If so, how to do it.
