Eviction is one of the most common disputes between landlords and tenants. However, under the law, a landlord cannot simply force a tenant out of the property without following the due process. Wrongful eviction occurs when a landlord attempts to evict a tenant without legal grounds, without notice, or through force and intimidation.

The law requires landlords to provide proper notice and, in most cases, obtain an order from the court before evicting a tenant. For example, non-payment of rent, sub-letting without permission, or misuse of the property may be valid grounds, but even then, eviction can only be carried out legally.

Tenants facing wrongful eviction have the right to approach the court for relief and even seek compensation for harassment. An experienced advocate in the district courts of Ludhiana or the Punjab and Haryana High Court can help tenants defend their rights against unlawful actions by landlords.
