January 14, 2025 at 1:37 pmHello,We are dealing with a tenant who has been a constant source of trouble. For the past 7 months, he has not been paying rent properly. In November 2024, we told him to vacate the property, and he requested one month to find another house. However, it is now January 2025, and he is still refusing to leave, repeating the same excuse.
To make matters worse:
1. He has not paid the electricity bill for the last 3 months.
2. His security deposit is completely exhausted.
3. He has been deceiving us by sending fake GPay screenshotsn and sms claiming he has paid the rent but saying it will “take time to update.”
We are at our wit’s end and considering removing his belongings from the property if he does not settle the dues or vacate. However, we are unsure about the legal consequences of this action.
We need advice on how to proceed legally to evict him and recover the dues. What are the appropriate steps we can take without getting into legal trouble?
Thank you for your guidance!

January 16, 2025 at 9:37 amYou know what’s the most common tactic? When you get a judgement in your favor they will bring a random relative and tell he also lives there so not including him in the proceedings is not fair and the case restarts. ππ

January 15, 2025 at 9:23 amHe is sending fake gPay screenshot. Which is fraud (criminal offence). So the landlord can file criminal cases as well. And for the tenant to file criminal cases, he will have to engage a lawyer and spend money. Something that he doesn’t have.-

January 15, 2025 at 11:51 amI don’t know who told you that it’s a civil offense but falsifying financial documents (doesn’t matter in what format) will attract criminal charges.-
