A homeowner from Punjab, after relocating to Canada, leased his house for ₹20,000 per month but later filed for eviction to regain control of the property.
A homeowner in Punjab recently relocated to Canada and decided to lease his house back in the state for a monthly rent of ₹20,000. The decision to rent out the property was reportedly made to generate steady income while he was abroad.
Shortly after the lease began, the homeowner filed a petition for eviction, citing his intention to use the house for personal or business purposes that required full control of the premises. The eviction request has raised questions about the legal rights of landlords and tenants in such circumstances.
Legal experts note that while landlords can seek eviction under certain conditions, the process must follow the provisions of the Rent Control Act and local tenancy laws. The case is now pending in the local court, and it may set a precedent for similar disputes involving overseas property owners.
