I have rented my flat at Kolkata on leave and license basis on 11 months term. The agreement is made on Rs 20 stamp paper, it is notorised but not registered. The licensee is defaulting/delaying the payment of monthly rent. Can I vacate the flat by giving one month notice to the licensee? Where do I stand legally if the licensee disagrees to vacate the possession.

Since the property is i kolkata where Leave and License agreement has limited scope. I need to know two things- rate of rent and period of license to reply properly. Mere execution of leave and license does not make that person licensee because of West Bengal Tenancy Act.
