A series of rulings in tenant vs landlord rows over the last year has gone in favour of house owners :
March 2008- SC says Oriental Insurance and Bharat Petroleum can pay rent at market rates in Mumbai and, therefore, are not entitled to the protection of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act April 2008 -The apex court says a landlord can ask a tenant to vacate commercial premises, citing bona fide requirements for himself or herself, or any dependent family member September 2008 -The HC rules that a tenant has to vacate his flat at the end of the leave-and-licence agreement term . Long years of tenancy cannot be a shield against eviction from a shop or house when the owner’s need for using the premises is bona fide, the SC says .
November 2008 -A tenant can’t stay put in a rented premise claiming it is not fit for the owner’s need, rules the SC .
December 2008 -A landlord can seek the appointment of a court commissioner to inspect tenanted premises, the HC says.

Hi Rohit,
Came across your blog while searching for tenant eviction help on the internet.
My parents have a house in Chandigarh where the tenants are not vacating the first floor and are not paying rent. Plus they are being really abusive. I visited Chandigarh and have found that this has become the norm there. The shocking part is that our tenants are lawyers, that is, both husband and wife are lawyers. We have been advised against filing a case since the case may drag on for years.
What has our country come to? Why is no action being taken against such people? It defies logic - how can people stay in somebody's house without paying rent? Why is nothing being done about the rampant problem?
Shocked.
