A. Issue legal notice to tenant for vacating the premises.

B.Later, you can approach the Court to suit for eviction against him.

C. Recently,Supreme Court ruled that if a landlord is doing a business and he wants to extend it and needs additional space, the tenant cannot question him. The judgment is Anil Bajaj v Ahuja dated 8th May 14
