Tenant not paying rent or not vacating?
Changing the locks or cutting electricity can land landlords in trouble. Eviction must follow the law — in Uttar Pradesh, the UP Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021 and its Rent Authority; in Delhi, the Delhi Rent Control Act or the civil courts, depending on the premises. A lawyer picks the right forum and process.

FAQ
Tenant not paying rent or not vacating?: common questions
Can I evict a tenant without a written agreement?+
Yes, but proving the tenancy terms is harder. Eviction still has to go through the proper legal process.
Can I stop the electricity or water supply?+
No. Cutting essential supplies to force a tenant out is illegal and can backfire in court.
Is it free to submit my problem on LawPaw?+
Yes. Telling us your problem and getting a call back from your coordinator is free. You pay only if you decide to go ahead.
What will I have to pay?+
Up to three things, all told to you in writing before you pay: (1) LawPaw's convenience fee for coordinating your matter, (2) the professional's fee, which they quote, and (3) government charges such as court fees or stamp duty, at actual cost. GST applies as per law. There are no hidden charges.
