My tenant has not been vacating my flat which he has been occupying since last almost five years. The agreement which I had entered with him has expired four years back and he has not renewed it. He has been paying me the rent on time but I want the flat to be vacated. How to go ahead legally in this matter?

Answer. First of all stop referring the person as a tenant. As his status is of a trespasser. Secondly file a complaint against him for illegal and unauthorised trespassing into your immovable property. Most importantly stop accepting his rent, as the moment you accept rent from him it implies that you have permitted him to continue his occupation of your flat. After refusing to accept rent you can file a suit for eviction against him before the competent Court of law.
