How can I evict a tenant in Bomabay? Sec. 16 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 uses the words "if the court is satisfied". Does this mean that i have to apply to the court to evict a tenant, or is there any other way? Any information on this point will be appreciated.

You have not gone through the entire act. Just a few words out of the text will not give any proper meaning to it. Any Court unless it is satisfied with the reasons given by the landlord will not order eviction. Just because somebody wants an eviction order against a tenant it cannot be granted. The court has to follow laid down principles and the conditions under which the tenants can be evicted. You will have to prove in the case the reasons for eviction and then only the courts will grant an eviction order.

Thank you for your input Mr. Ranganathan. I have gone through the relevant sections and read the various grounds for eviction and the conditions thereon. I just wanted to confirm whether i need to approach the courts with those grounds, or if there is any way whereby i could simply send a notice to the tenant, mentioning such grounds, and request him to evict. Thank you for your input, it has been of great help.
