Tenant did unauthorised construction in room declared as slum.

What if the Area/property is declared as Slum and the tenant has done unauthorised changes in the room structure like raising ceiling height and created new room on top of house .... in this case can a Landlord file suit for eviction??...Or does the landlord needs a written permission from Slum Rehabilitation Authority(SRA) before filing an eviction suit??... What are the chances of getting permission from SRA for filing eviction suit in such case??

Warm regards

If you are a landlord you can very well take action against the tenant for this violation of conditions of rental agreement as per law

Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) Regulations: 1. *SRA Notification*: If the area is declared a slum, the SRA regulations apply.

2. *Unauthorized Constructions*: The tenant's unauthorized changes, such as raising the ceiling height and creating a new room, may be considered illegal under SRA regulations.

Eviction Suit: 1. *Landlord's Rights*: The landlord has the right to file an eviction suit against the tenant for unauthorized constructions and other breaches of the tenancy agreement.

2. *SRA Permission*: However, before filing an eviction suit, the landlord may need to obtain written permission from the SRA, as the area is declared a slum. Chances of Getting SRA Permission:

1. *SRA Guidelines*: The SRA may have specific guidelines for handling eviction cases in slum areas.

2. *Tenant's Rights*: The SRA may consider the tenant's rights, including their eligibility for rehabilitation benefits.

3. *Landlord's Case*: The landlord's chances of getting permission depend on the strength of their case, including evidence of unauthorized constructions and other breaches. Court Procedure:

1. *Civil Court*: The landlord can file an eviction suit in the civil court, which will hear the case and provide a verdict.

2. *SRA's Role*: The SRA may be involved in the court proceedings, and their permission may be required before the court grants an eviction order. To navigate this complex situation,
