Eviction Notice

What is an Eviction Notice?

An eviction notice is a formal written communication sent by a property owner (landlord) to a tenant, requesting them to vacate the rented premises within a specified time. It is typically the first legal step taken before initiating eviction proceedings in court. This notice outlines the reason for eviction and gives the tenant a fair chance to respond or resolve the issue before further legal action is taken.

How Can DigiLawyer Help You?

Common Reasons to Send Legal Notice to Evict Tenant? 

Property owners may send an eviction notice for several lawful reasons, including: 

• Non-payment of rent over an extended period 
• Violation of lease terms such as subletting without permission, performing illegal activities, or property damage 
• Unauthorized occupancy or overstay after lease expiry without renewal 
• Creating nuisance or harassment to neighbors or landlord 
• Property required for landlord’s personal use (in case of bonafide requirement) 
• Illegal construction or alterations without permission within the rented premises 

When Should you Send an Eviction Notice? 

• Upon Valid Legal Reason: Send the notice as soon as there's a valid reason like non-payment of rent, lease violation, property damage, or unauthorized occupation. 
• After Identifying the Issue: Act promptly once the default or breach is noticed to avoid complications. 
• Before Legal Action: Most laws require an eviction notice before initiating formal eviction proceedings. 
• As Per Legal Timelines: The time to send the notice depends on the type of default and local/state-specific eviction laws. 
• Avoid Delay: Delaying the notice may result in extended unlawful occupation and increased financial loss. 

What Does an Eviction Notice Include? 

A properly or well-drafted legal notice to vacate a property should contain the following elements: 

• Names and addresses of both the landlord and tenant 
• Description of the property under dispute  
• Mention the reason(s) for eviction 
• Notice period granted for vacating (as per agreement or local rent laws or usually 15 to 30 days) 
• Reference to any lease terms or rental laws 
• Signature of the landlord or authorized representative 

Consequences of Ignoring an Eviction Notice 

If a tenant does not comply with the notice, it could lead to serious legal consequences: 

• The landlord can initiate eviction proceedings in the appropriate rent control tribunal or civil court 
• The tenant may be ordered to pay outstanding rent, penalties, or damages and the litigation costs 
• Forced eviction through court orders can affect the tenant’s credit and rental history 
• Continued occupation may attract charges of illegal possession or trespassing 
• It may also cause reputational and financial consequences 

Governing Laws

Eviction-related matters in India are governed by: 

• State-specific Rent Control Acts (e.g., Maharashtra Rent Control Act, Delhi Rent Control Act) 
• Transfer of Property Act, 1882 
• Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 for civil enforcement through courts 
• Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS)- only if criminal elements are involved, such as unlawful force, intimidation, or trespass. 

Non-compliance with legal procedures can lead to dismissal of eviction petitions or penalties for landlords. Hence, it is vital to follow legal routes and timelines strictly.
