Answer: Yes! But Follow the Legal Process! 🧐

📌 1. Check Your Rent Agreement First! 📜

• A registered rental agreement is your biggest weapon in court. 🔥
• If your tenant isn’t paying, you need to send a legal notice first before eviction. 🚀

📌 2. Serve a Legal Notice! ✉️

• Under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a landlord must serve a notice before eviction.
• Give the tenant a reasonable deadline (usually 15-30 days) to clear dues or vacate.

📌 3. File for Eviction in Court! ⚖️

• If the tenant ignores the notice, file an eviction suit under state-specific Rent Control Laws.
• Common eviction grounds include:
  ✅ Non-payment of rent
  ✅ Subletting without permission
  ✅ Damaging the property
  ✅ Illegal activities on the premises

📌 4. Can You Recover Unpaid Rent? 💰

• Yes! You can file for recovery of arrears along with eviction.
• If the tenant refuses to pay, the court may attach their assets or salary to recover your money.

📌 5. What If the Tenant Refuses to Leave? 🚪

• NEVER take illegal action like changing locks or cutting utilities—it can backfire legally! ❌
• Get a court order, and if the tenant still doesn’t leave, authorities can forcefully evict them. 🚔

🚀 Pro Tip: Always register your rent agreement! An unregistered one makes legal action difficult.
