Tenant Eviction Notice

A formal notice asking a tenant to vacate the property and clear pending rent, drafted on the terms of your rent agreement and the law that applies to your tenancy.

Overview

The notice period depends on the agreement and the law. Under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a month-to-month tenancy can be ended with 15 days' notice unless the agreement says otherwise, while state rent-control laws — and the rent authorities in states that have adopted the Model Tenancy Act — can add their own grounds and procedures. We check which regime applies before drafting.

The notice records the grounds — expiry of the lease, non-payment of rent, unauthorised subletting, misuse of the premises, or personal need — the dues outstanding, and the date by which the property must be handed back, so that it supports eviction proceedings if the tenant does not comply.

Common questions

How much notice must be given to a tenant?

add

Usually what the rent agreement says. If it is silent, Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act provides 15 days' notice for a month-to-month tenancy. State rent-control laws may require specific grounds and procedures, so the notice is drafted for the state where the property is.

Can I evict a tenant without going to court?

add

A notice is the first step, and many tenants vacate on receiving one. If the tenant does not leave, eviction has to go through the rent court, rent authority or civil court with jurisdiction. Self-help measures such as cutting off electricity or changing the locks are unlawful.

Can I claim unpaid rent in the same notice?

add

Yes. The notice can demand the arrears and any charges due under the agreement, and set out how the security deposit will be adjusted.
