Frequently Asked Questions
How should I send a legal notice for non-payment of rent?▼
Send it by Registered Post Acknowledgement Due (RPAD) or Speed Post to the tenant's last known address. Keep the postal receipt and the acknowledgement card as evidence of service.
How many days must I give the tenant to pay?▼
Standard practice is 15 days. Courts and most state Rent Control Acts consider 15 days a reasonable opportunity to clear dues before eviction proceedings are initiated.
Can I evict the tenant immediately after the notice period?▼
No. After the notice period expires without payment, you must file an eviction suit in the appropriate Rent Control Court. The legal notice is a prerequisite, not a substitute, for court proceedings.
Do I need an advocate to send this notice?▼
You can send a legal notice yourself, but having an advocate send it (on their letterhead) adds significant legal weight and signals intent to litigate if the tenant doesn't comply.
