        my grandfather inherited his house from his uncle who does not have any kids….that uncle kept some tenants at that time…around….without any legal paper or if it were ..it is now destroyed….fast forward to today….these tenents occupied the whole ground floor with their families…but are not ready to leaving…they are not willing to leave
        these tenants three generations are now living here…my grandfather’s uncle and later grandfather received rents from their grandfather and now them…..how can we make them leave

        also one family is living somewhere else and but still pay rent to occupy that space

          Official: suit for eviction.
          Unofficial: political/police settlement to throw off.

            My friendโ€™s grandfather used to take away the roof tiles if he didnโ€™t receive the rent on time (โ‚น0.5/month, today: โ‚น3/month).

            Itโ€™s been more than 30 years and the tenants are officially the owners of the house. Well, thatโ€™s how it works in Maharashtra- check the old tenant laws in your state.

              Lawyer here, based in Delhi.

              You cannot remove them by force or without a proper legal process. In most states with rent control laws, eviction is allowed only on specific grounds. In your case, the most practical and legally valid ground is bona fide personal need. That means you or your family genuinely need the property for your own use.

              The first step is to send a legal notice terminating the tenancy on this ground. If they do not vacate, you will need to file an eviction suit under the applicable rent control law.
              The success of the case will depend on showing that your need is genuine and that alternative accommodation is available. This will take time, but it is the correct legal route.

                Kick them out by force and deal with the police or law rather than going legal route to kick them out via court order which will take years and shit tonn of lawyers fees…

                  Try to sell the house to a politician. You will take a hit on market price. He will buy it.
