Default in payment of rent is a ground for eviction.
But once you file a suit for eviction on this ground he will deposit the rent which is permissible and then this ground goes.
So to evict him you require to have other ground like bona fide requirement of the premises.

Send him a legal notice of termination of the lease on the basis of reasons you stated. Give him some time (15 days) to vacate the premises.. failing to which get the possession of the property.

Dear Jurycon Incoporation, I am quite curious to know how the author can get back the tenanted possession after 15 days on non-payment of arrears as advised by you.

I agree with expert Mr. Devajyoti Barman, the author has to follow due process of law to get possession of tenanted premises.

Agreed with Mr Barman. Default is definitely a ground. But in order to get a sure success, some other ground has to be searched.
The view of Juricon is not very convincing, given the facts of the case.
