Hello Sir. My tenant (owner of a commercial shop on the ground floor of my house) is not vacating the shop which we gave him for rent for 3 years on the basis of an agreement which expired in September 2019 , but he has not given rent until now since May 2019. We have only water supply in our power which we have already cut but still he has not vacated nor given rent. so my questions are :-
1). If we send him a notice for rent (only for rent and not eviction) , can the tenant plea in court and file a case against it on the basis of eviction ( even if our notice has no mention as such for eviction, for example, "if he doesn't pay the rent in this much time he has to vacate the shop" ).
As currently we are in no position(mentally and financially) to fight a case for eviction which takes around 10 years.
2). Or what are the ways by which I can get my rent ASAP without fighting an eviction case?
3). how much time does the process takes after sending him the notice to get my rent?
It would be really appreciable and grateful if someone could help me .
Thanks.
