My tenant died a year ago leaving behind her 2 adult sons .As per the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act, 1997 they shall remain tenant for 5 years from the date of death.The act also provides that after 5 years they shall be given preference to become tenant if they agree pay fair rent and enter into a fresh agreement.But I don’t want to let out that portion at all to anyone after the said period of 5 years and so the question of preference does not arise. Can I evict them on this ground or shall i have to prove reasonable requirement to the court?
Note: We have a tenancy agreement with the deceased
