        Hello,

        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!

            Take few goons and throw him out. Legal process will take 5 years. And he will enjoy the place rent free for that time.

                As per the agreement he has breached it and we can rights to remove him out, but I’m afraid what if he takes legal action against us

                    Legal action- India, you must be joking. This guy will also need to pay lawyers upfront for action to start. You can pay lawyers upfront to stall the process. Let’s see 20 years later!

                      You 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. πŸ™‚πŸ™‚

                      then he can file a criminal case, which is taken far more seriously, even a 1% of chance of conviction will ruin your life forever

                          He 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.

                                  I 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.

                                      bro we suffered a cheque bounce case that dragged for years , even had to bribe police to issue summons to the accused , its super duper slow and draggy so i know

                                      on the other hand, physical assault is taken 10x more seriously provided there’s some amount of video proof

                                When nobody’s at home, break the lock and enter if required, throw away their belongings on the road proper 70s movie style
