I am having a serious problem with my tenant and I would be very grateful for any legal person who can give me some advice
I am a salaried person on limited income. Less than a year back, I let out my flat in NOIDA, UP to a person for an initial period of 11 months. The person with whom I signed the lease agreement actually has given possession of the property to another person, without my consent who is currently occupying my flat.
Soon after I let out the property, I started getting complaints from other people in the society that this person was actually carrying on political activities from the flat. So I approached the tenant and asked him to vacate the property as soon as possible. He pleaded with me to allow him to stay till at least the end of the initial agreed period of the tenancy which was till March 2010. I made it clear to him that I would not be interested in extending the tenancy beyond the agreed period the initial period of 11 months in any case which was finishing on 31st March 2010.
This tenant has now forged and altered the date in the tenancy agreement from Mar 2010 to read as March 2016 ( by change 0 to 6 ) and has in turn filed a false case against me in the court saying that I am harassing him to vacate the flat before the term of the lease. I received a court notice to this effect a couple of weeks back. He has also alleged in the written complaint to the court that he has paid me huge some of money which is totally untrue.
In response to this, I immediately served an eviction notice on him. However, to my shock, he has filed a false complaint against me in the local police station blaming me for causing bodily injury as a "hit and run" case for an arm injury he already had using the registration number of my vehicle along with two false witnesses. This also is absolutely fabricated as I have not been involved in any such thing and he has done this purely to falsely implicate me.
Meanwhile I came to know that this person who is occupying my flat now is a seasoned goonda of the area and I am very scared that he is not going to vacate the flat. I myself stay in a rented apartment and this is the only flat that I have and I was planning to move into this with my family soon.
I would be very grateful if anyone can give me some advice as to how I should proceed or how I can deal with this problem as I am very much mentally distressed currently due to this problem. I have seen this sort of things only in movies so far and never imagined that one day I will I will experience it myself. This is causing me a great deal of mental anxiety and also adversely affecting my performance in the office.
I request help from all o f you. Any comments / suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.
