FAQs on Landlord-Tenant Dispute Resolution Services
Yes, an NRI landlord can initiate and pursue eviction proceedings through a legally executed Power of Attorney. Our firm represents NRI clients in Indian courts, managing the entire litigation process remotely with full transparency and regular updates.
Under Indian law, a lease agreement exceeding 11 months must be registered to be legally enforceable. Unregistered agreements may weaken the landlord’s legal standing in disputes, particularly in eviction or rent recovery suits.
As per Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, a 15-day notice is required for monthly tenancies unless the agreement stipulates otherwise. In case of a fixed-term lease, eviction can only be sought after expiry or breach of conditions.
No, subletting without the express written consent of the landlord is generally a breach of the tenancy agreement and constitutes valid grounds for eviction under Indian tenancy laws.
Rent escalation terms must be clearly defined in the lease agreement. In the absence of such terms, rent can typically be revised after a specified duration—often annually—subject to local rent control regulations and mutual consent.
