As per the law, in the absence of a rent agreement, it is considered that it is a month-to-month lease. In case the tenant does not vacate the property, the owner can serve legal notice, and after that, the tenant fails to vacate the property. Then the tenant might face legal proceedings. If you are a tenant living in a flat or house or running your own business on a rented property without a rent agreement, your landlord can simply give you an eviction notice for a minimum of 30 days or as per tenancy laws. If you own a property in India and have provided it on rent or on lease without a property rental agreement,

Then you should know the legal rights of the landlords in India. Also, if you havenÕt followed the entire legal process before giving your house keys to your tenant, and now you are wondering how to evict a tenant without a rental agreement in India, I have a solution for you. There are certain rules for landlords in India when the tenant refuses to vacate the property. This means that the owner has the right to serve notice to the tenant to vacate the property within a period of 15 days.

If the property is being used for commercial purposes, the tenant may ask to stay in the property for 4 months from the date the tenant receives the vacate notice.
