Can my landlord evict me without a court order in Delhi?

My landlord has been threatening to remove my belongings and lock the house while I am at work. Is this legal? What are my rights?

Adv. Priya Kapoor

No landlord can forcibly evict you without obtaining an eviction decree from the Rent Controller or Civil Court. Self-help eviction is illegal under the Delhi Rent Control Act. You can file a police complaint under IPC Section 441 (trespass). Document everything — take photos and keep all rent receipts.

My ex-husband is not paying maintenance ordered by court. What to do?

Family court ordered ₹15,000 per month maintenance 6 months ago. He has not paid even once. What legal action can I take?

Adv. Swati Banerjee

File an execution petition under Section 125 CrPC/BNSS before the same Family Court. The court can issue a warrant of arrest and even imprisonment for wilful default. You can also attach his property or bank accounts. Act quickly as each month adds to the arrears.
