Security Deposit RecoveryFrequently Asked Questions
No. Forceful eviction without a court order — including changing locks, cutting utilities, or physically removing belongings — is illegal under Indian law and can expose the landlord to criminal liability. A proper legal process must be followed.
The landlord must first issue a proper notice to vacate as per the rental agreement and applicable state law. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord must file an eviction suit before the appropriate court or Rent Authority.
The tenant can send a legal demand notice, file a complaint before the Consumer Forum for deficiency of service, or file a civil suit for recovery of the deposit along with interest and compensation for harassment.
An unregistered rent agreement for a period less than 12 months is valid and can be used as evidence. However, an unregistered agreement for 12 months or more has limited evidentiary value and may not be enforceable in full.
