When and how can landlords evict tenants? What the Model Tenancy Act says

The Model Tenancy Act, 2021 introduces significant reforms allowing landlords to remove troublesome tenants through legal channels. It specifies clear eviction grounds, such as non-payment of rent and unauthorized subleasing. Eviction proceedings must take place in the Rent Court, eliminating unlawful forceful evictions. Tenants who resist vacating risk severe penalties, including paying double or quadruple rent. Furthermore, legal heirs can also request eviction based on genuine needs.
