When and how can landlords evict tenants? What the Model Tenancy Act says

The Model Tenancy Act, 2021, outlines procedures for landlords seeking to evict tenants under specific conditions. The Act specifies that eviction can only occur through a Rent Court and prohibits landlords from forcibly removing tenants or cutting off essential services. Grounds for eviction include non-payment of rent for two consecutive months, unauthorized subletting, using the property for illegal activities, causing public nuisance, or making unauthorized structural changes. The law also allows legal heirs of deceased landlords to apply for eviction if they require the property. Penalties for tenants who refuse to vacate include paying double the monthly rent for the first two months and quadruple thereafter.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the legal framework provided by the Model Tenancy Act in a neutral manner, focusing on procedural guidelines rather than taking a stance on the fairness or implications of the law. It does not exhibit overtly biased language, one-sided sourcing, or omission of context.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 90): The article accurately explains the provisions of the Model Tenancy Act 2021 regarding eviction procedures. It presents the legal framework clearly without apparent bias. The information aligns with typical legal interpretations and does not show signs of editorializing.
