Tenant or tenant lawyer not appearing for court hearing

Hello,

We rented our house to a tenant on 11 month rental agreement (unregistered). After two months the tenant stopped paying the rent. He moved out and allowed someone else to occupy the house. 

The tenant kept promising to pay the rent and kept asking for time to have the house vacated. The original rental agreement has expired. Someone else is still living in the house.

So, we filed a court case against the tenant.

The tenant or the lawyer do not come to any of the court hearings. We somehow had summons issued to the tenant. but the court case was transferred to another court. The judge in the new court is saying that the tenant or the lawyer has to come to at least one court hearing. The case has already dragged on for 1.5 years. (Each time the court gives another chance for the tenant and gives a next hearing date after 2 or 3 months.)

Is there any way out of this problem for us? Can someone please advice.

Thank you

first you must give well drafted notice, if given thereafter file case for recovery of dues and eviction. Any mistake in notice will be fatal for landlord. So you can still give a new legally perfect notice and amend your plaint.
