Evicting tenant

What is the procedure to evict a tenant?

Dear Arshad,

Normally you have to give a notice of one month or 2 months depends on your agreement to tenant.

That is normal but what happens if they do not move at the end of the notice period? What are the next steps and how long does it take, and how much does it cost?

People usually contact the court in such conditions along with the written proofs and incur legal support.

@Arshad

You need to consult a good lawyer as there is great lot of security provided in the Rental Act for the landlord. And one recent judgement by the Honourable Supreme Court had set a standard where if the contract is not renewed within 2 months of its expiry, the landlord can go to the court without even giving a notice... and the court with immediate effect must evict the tenant with force by police and the proceedings to be carried out later after eviction.

I can provide you references on request but better consult a good lawyer.

Good luck.
