F​
I own a room in Mumbai that I let out to a tenant about 17 months ago. Initially, we had an 11-month Leave and License agreement. However, I was away in my village for several months and did not formally renew it.
While the formal agreement expired, I have the terms and conditions written on a copy of the tenant’s Aadhaar card, which he has signed. The tenant has been a consistent defaulter—he does not pay rent or electricity bills on time.
Two weeks ago, I told him that if he doesn’t pay on time , you should vacant it . In anger and rude tone , agreed to vacate within 15 days, but that deadline has passed and he is now refusing to move out.
I am a student from a middle-class family and cannot afford long, expensive court cases, nor do I want this to disrupt my studies or family peace.
Should I file police complaint?
What is the most cost-effective way to legally evict a non-paying tenant in Mumbai?
Any guidance from people who have handled similar situations in Maharashtra would be greatly appreciated.
