My tenant has not paid rent for last 10 months and even his security deposit is over. 4 months back when we asked him to vacate he got an injunction order from the civil court. In the injunction order he has put all false claims that the tenant was threatened, tenant gave money to us when we were sick etc, which are all baseless . Realized later that this the tenant's usual practice. He had being doing this even with his earlier landlord which the earlier landlord settled out of court by paying some money to the tenant. The tenant is being helped by an another lawyer and seems to be running this as a scam from one landlord to another. We had a 11 month agreement (not registered) and which got expired. Also we did not provide rent receipts. He has claimed that he is paying rent which is totally false. As mentioned earlier, we have not received rent from him for the last 10 months. Now his lawyer and the tenant are playing delaying tactics for their injunction case stating that the tenant is sick, bed ridden. Even the magistrate is postponing the dates month after month. The majistrate is not listening to our lawyer at all. Is it because the tenant has filed the case and he gets the priority? The tenant is freely staying on our property without paying anything. This is causing a lot of tension to my parents (property owner) who are senior citizens and are ex-service personnel. My parents health is also not good.
Our lawyer is waiting for the evidence from the client's injunction case to file for eviction. But as mentioned earlier the tenant & his lawyer are delaying their injunction case by not appearing and giving silly excuses of health.
This is our case. Experts, pls guide us for the next steps. Is there any way to expidate this case?
