The concern for tenanted premises is both that of the landlord and the tenant. Premises/houses/shops are given on rent/lease for managing assets and avoiding any trespassers or illegal occupation. Appropriate steps by both the landlord and tenant must be taken to mitigate risks. It is imperative for both parties to ensure the lease/rent agreement is in writing, specific, and preferably registered. You must engage property disputer lawyer/solicitors/attorneys to ensure the right of both landlord and tenant are protected.
Most states have laws pertaining to the protection of both landlords and tenants. The prescribed laws lay grounds under which the landlord can have his premises vacated from the tenant. Non-Payment of Rent, personal need, subletting, damage to the property etc. are grounds to vacate a tenant. Similarly, a tenant has a legal right to go to court and defend himself against an illegal eviction or illegal actions of a landlord.
