Dear Arunachalamm, you have to issue notice under Section-15 of Rent Control Act. Such notice should be for 90 days. If the tenant fails to pay the entire arrears within 90 days from the receipt of the said notice, you can file a suit for the recovery of the arrears of rent as also possession of the premises. Thereafter, if the tenant does not pay the arrears of rent and permitted increases, together with simple interest on the amount of arrears at 15 per cent per annum, within 90 days from the date of service of summons of the suit and also does not pay the arrears or tender in court regularly such rent and permitted increases till the suit is finally decided, you will be entitled to decree in eviction.
