The police officer is definitely involved and takes the bribe from the tenant. Clear case.

She is now a squatter, not a tenant anymore. Wait outside or anywhere close. Tell the security to inform you as soon as she goes outside. Bring a locksmith, change keys and remove all her belonging outside. Let her go through the legal route, you already have everything you need to back yourself.

It happened with us too. My father asked the electricity department to cut the electricity of my apartment. She left the house in a single day with all belonging. After that my father had to pay again to get the electric connection back. But this technique worked.

We had an infringement on our property once. We had rented it to one guy who never paid rent but he sub leased it to someone other people and was collecting rent from them as a landowner but never gave anything to us. They illegally put shops on our land thinking the guy we rented to was the landowner. When we came from the US to see the situation, we just walked in, began throwing out all their stuff onto the street. They called the landowner who came and asked who we were and to share our documents. We told him to f off and we continued throwing out their stuff. He made a few life threats which we recorded and shared with the police and a copy to the US embassy. Police commissioner called us and told us that the guy is connected to a local politician. We again escalated and the local politician and everyone under him was arrested. These types of guys only understand one language.

The fact that he is not using any means of force speaks volumes about this man.

It happened to me.. my tenant who is practicing lawyer, was not vacating. I sent notice to him and took him to court.Finally after a year he vacated and then I sold the apartment. No more headache now.People normally say don't rent your home to lawyers and police. But it's true in my life.

i wish there were laws where if the tenant doesn't pay rent for more than 3 months the landlord can outright enter the property and throw their things out.

whenever I hear such news, I am literally shocked that how can a Tenant live so confidently in the flat after all this! . Even after Courts order, police intervention etc she is not vacating and neither paying rent!!! How??? Is it so easy for a Tenant to take control of another person's house? Not even the society's maintenance team is cutting off her power and water supply! Why! How! So it means one should think 100 times before investing in real estate in INDIA!!!

This is an elderly abuse. #1 She is a doctor #2 She should be stripped off her license because you can't imagine her having an ethical practice and jeopardizing other people. She is a squatter and occupying the space illegally. She should be publicly shamed! And her face should be shown so other people can save their parents and vulnerable ppl from her hands.

Put her photo as well and spread this communication to the world. Let people recognise what she is and how she is harassing an elderly person. Politeness and decency doesn’t work with criminals as this lady!! Shame on her and her upbringing

We faced the same issue, our tenant put a case on my father that we harassed them, when we asked them to vacate. Court case went on for 2 years and she was luckily forced to vacate. But she had abused the house so much that we spent a lot of money to restore it

Similar problem I faced in my Kolkata apartment. The tenant started defaulting on his rent. He said lockdown is going on so his car rental business is not going well. Fine I said and we waited. Soon lockdown was over and his business was also running. Still he didn't pay rent and was not moving out. Police came and told them to vacate the house peacefully without going to court. I even said I don't want my rent, just vacate it. But he was adamant. Started saying his parents are not well, his business is struggling. He will pay all the due rent and then only leave, even if it takes few years. Now I don't stay in India much and my parents stay there. I came back to Kolkata after 6 months, still he didn't vacate the house. We got an order from the district magistrate in another 6 months that they should vacate the house. Then I put false allegations against him that he is selling marijuana and is creating nuisances in the building every night after being drunk. In 2 weeks we brought the police, local political friends and we broke their lock and barged in. We started taking out his furnitures and putting it on the road. He came and started shouting lol. I said I have sold the house and new owner wants this to be vacated today as tomorrow onwards they will start renovation. Trust me friends, within 4 hours he found a new rented house and by evening he moved out. We gave him 2 days time to shift his remaining furnitures. So in this type of situation you have to force your way into your house and then let them complain. You will be charged with trespassing but actually it is your property and occupant is staying illegally, so they are trespassing. When police is there as witness then there cannot be any charge of robbery also.

Govt can bulldoze the homes of people but cannot evict an illegal occupant 😅

My Mother allowed her maid to stay in one of our investment properties after she got married. She & Her husband gave us really hard time to vacate the same. They went on to police station & posted about us on media giving false claims.. finally, my parents had to pay them up to leave. The world is full of thankless people.

Case daal ne se kuch nahi hoga . Employee a man for Rs.15K . All he has to do is visit your flat every day and put a lock on the outside at 7AM and go to the spot where all electric meters are there and pull the plug and take it with him. He will definitely vacate. Case daal ke 1-2 Lakhs kyu waste karni.

Same occurred with me. I had a flat in Berhampur, Odisha. That tenant did the same to me. We have to run to court, police station inorder to remove such injustice

Malvinder singh is a gentleman. He is trying to solve problem with legal ways . That Doctor is shameless and occupying the property illegally .

Eviction order from court must be served by court personnel along with local police protection. Any objection to this becomes contempt of court.

Police officer is demanding 50k And. Tenant demanding 10 lakh. What should i do Mera bhi ghr tenant khaa rhe h bhilai cg m 5 saal hogye h 😢😢 bhut depressed hu. Mere parents ka health khrb hogya or govt bhi kuch ni krti kuki dada ne agreement ni bnaya tha 😭😭 meri life bhi khrb hori h 😢😢😢

Seriously I feel so pity for this man. He put the whole savings of his life and brought that apartment. I will pray to god that nobody has to go through this and he gets justice.

When the court order is there, it is the police job to vacate them and implement the rule of law

If people don't comply with court's orders, doesn't it amount to contempt?

FIRST THING TELL ELECTRICITY BOARD TO DISCONTINUE UR ELECTRICITY SECOND WATER SOURCE THIRD TELL SOCIETY IF U CANT VACANT THE FLAT YOU HAVE TO BEAR THE MAINTENANCE

This is sooo unfair..Why don't the law help .. the police should immediately take action on the tenant and throw her things out of the house... As elderly people they have to be helped

It's really shame on this country when educated people go so low

Why is the police not evicting the culprit? Looks like the culprit has connections in high places!

This halpened to my uncle whose house was acquired illegally by the tenant. Court case took 30-40 years to solve however nothing happened to tenant he still aquired the half of the house property got sold put after judgement at very low price all sugfering and pain and cost was ot compensated. Shame on the judicial system, also an eye opener for the people who are investing in property without power.

Her photo needs to be put out in public and she needs to be shamed and her license cancelled.

Shameless woman she should be punished

This shows how weak our law system is.

Cut the electricity and water supply, Same incident happened to me in 2021, and I didn't go to the court because I knew that the other person would enjoy my problems. Then I asked the electricity and water department to cut the supply. Then the family finally vacated the flat in 1 month. Trust me , no one can live without water and electricity. So go ahead and do it. And thats completely under your rights to cut the electricity and water supply because that's your property.

Strict laws should be made against such tenant

Make this video viral. This man deserves to get his home back with all the rent payments.

Happened with me too recently. Leased out my flat to a contractor, wasn't vacating. Got the electricity disconnected. F*cker had to leave. If the court has also ordered to vacate, then simply lock the house from outside, or use force to throw her out. Let's see what she can do.

You need proper legal representation, file an application for delivery warrant along with police protection and break open of lock to recover possession. If the police and court staff fail to recover your possession , file a contempt petition in high court , all arrears of rent must also be paid, so file an application for recovery of arrears of rent by attachment of all the tenants movable property. Hope this helps , I wish you all the best 👍

U r so nice Sir that you are not using force and going through legal way. A doctor is not paying rent. This is new low... If as a doctor, she is making less, than find another apartment that cost less..

This is the situation of the Indian Justice system. A simple case of a tenant not vacating a flat and the case prolongs for more than 2 years.

Full support to Mr. Singh. Spread this as much as possible & force that shameless so called doctor to vacate the flat & pay the penalty!

Good reporting!!

Strong Uncle Ji, Ham bachcho par bhoj nahi banna chahte. Aapko Jaldi Justice milega aur wo Illegal Occupant ko Jail bhejenge!

This is a clear indication of law and order situation in Noida. She should be charged with multiple ipc sections. And the police's incompetence should also be brought to the respected court.

Kya yaar... God be with this man. Really! 🙏 Unnecessarily nice and decent people get harassed nowadays... This man has so much self-respect and he's facing his problems with such dignity. Salute to sir ji. God really help him and may justice be served quickly now.

Best option will be to put 2 additional big latches and locks and/or fix a iron grill door while she is away. Then once she is back don't let her open. OBVIOUSLY rent a flat in same building to keep an eye 24/7.

He is such a gentleman! Can’t believe he is going through this in this age! May god bless uncle and he gets back everything with ease! ✨✨✨

We literally told our tenant to vacate our house after she legit destroyed it to pieces. Her dogs scratched up walls and doors. We've had decent and sophisticated tenants as well in the past but this one was just nasty. It was as close to her occupying the flat. This is messed up on so many levels.

How can someone disobey police order and court order both and still continue committing this crime. India’s rent law need to be revised with at-least police arrest after the issue of court order and non-compliance

For everyone's information tenants name are as follows: Rahman Khan Rubza yasim Thank me later

This is sad that even with 2 sons parents have to struggle for such petty case. She is clearly paying Half the Rent to the Police Authority to not take any action. The issue has to be forwarded to the Police higherups to use force if needed to vacate the house. I hope Quint can help these to elderly in getting this issue resolved.

Same happened to us, a women is illegally staying in our apartment and when we went to ask her to vacate she is trying to falsely accuse of harassment.

This is where U.S laws are useful. In some states in the U.S, the sheriff's office forcefully evicts tenants using armed police force and it happens swiftly and effectively.

It’s the same for my 90 year old grandparents in Kolkata.

How bold she is! I appreciate Dr. Agarwal for being a strong woman and ignorant to honorable court orders and aggression from others! The society needs more women like her to handle pressures! A beautiful, educated and an independent woman simply handling a group of people along with her career! Way to go Woman!!!

Some case with us. 6 months, no rents. Went to court through a lawyer. Lawer took 30k, court is postponing. Knowing that even after hearing, the job will be not done is heartbreaking. Judicial system is inefficient.

We also had a tenant once who refused to leave and she was not paying any rent too. My family threw her out and she filed a police case against us, the apartment was sealed for a few months and we suffered some losses due to this but we were happy that we got rid of the squatter

Quint, thanks for bringing us this news. Please track this news and kindly keep us updated.

That’s great u have published this kind of a video

Its scary to rent out your home. You never know who will squat on your property! Horrible state of affairs.

if the courts don't force the law enforcement agencies to execute the eviction order where will the common citizen go ?

I also bought a plot in delhi from a delhi police officer. After four years we recieved a notice from electricity court to seal our premises, later we got to know that a FIR was registered in the name of that police officer but in the court he gave a wrong statement that this plot doesn't belong to him. We produced all the property chain to the hon'ble judge but he asked my 70 yrs old mother to pay the claim amount for a theft that happened 4 years ago before we purchased the property. That day I lost all my trust in the law. I sold that property and relocated to another country. I can feel the pain of this uncle ji, that what he is suffering due to corruption and beurocracy.

My father-in-law's property in Noida was illegally taken by a corrupt police officer. The officer hired thugs to prevent my in-laws from building anything on the land. Later, the officer built his own house on the property. Despite my father-in-law being a high-ranking government employee, he was unable to take action against the builder and the officer. This is the unfortunate reality of Delhi NCR.

Being educated doesn't mean educated. Having education and behaving educated is two diff thing. 😢😢😢

Justice delayed is justice denied!!

I am working in this industry for the past 5 years and i can guarantee you this is not at all a common scenario. It only happens when the owner become very lenient on the tenant and over trust them. What they forget is that they are still in a business relationship with the tenant. It's not a personal relationship. This looks a clear case of police inaction due to several factors. Cheats and specially stubborn cheats are everywhere be it medical, education , insurance or business. . Owner should be as stubborn as the thugs otherwise they won't get their rightful share anywhere in the world. It's good that quint covered their story. He will get some support and pressure on the local police.

The rent agreement is not valid one.. Beyond 11 months of rent agreement, the agreement should be properly registered as per registration act before registrar, failing this criteria agreement is null and void

This guy is too simple He doesn't want to hurt anyone Even the criminals taking advantage of him

I too had a tenant he went and gave police complaint also when i asked him to vacate the flat saying that they are harrasing then i went to police station they told you have to seen in court you can't ask him to vacate if he is not willing to, Then what i did i took my mother, father and sister cut hos electricity but he fixed electricity also then we looked his door then police came he told we will charge case on owners because they are creating violence . Policemen is also saying go to Court and face it But court once you apply it will take more than 3 months to get notice to tenant and then case dates we will get by the time we get the house it will be 3 years. Then my parents and we decided to Hit him when he comes. We hit him in a way that can't call police only he can go to hospital after that i gave house to another tenant immediately. His things i threw i kept in road and after 4 days he came and took his things.

In India judicial system is just to get formalities done , once done you have to use the parallel system created by politicians to vacate the house and u have to pay some money to them. Same issue happened with my friend house and he didn’t even go to court just took help from MP to vacate the house. If you go to court it takes years to just get verdict but in parallel system within a week it gets settled

I have been through this problem . Highly recommended not to rent to single women , bachelors , or any family who don’t have a good job or a decent source of income . Always ask for the employment letter , salary slips etc before signing the rent agreement Most of the squatters come from a poor family background or don’t have enough money to pay rents thus they tend to occupy flats . Also the law doesn’t do much maximum they can do is send notice to the tenant . That’s all

Here in California if a tenant doesn't pay the rent they get evicted by the court . The sheriffs give 24 hour notice to quit with there belongings once the court gives approval . I feel sorry for uncleji.

Stop water, Internet and electricity to the flat for three days automatically the bird comes out of its cage.😅

Excellent work!

My family faced similar thing! A guy came and asked to rent our vacant house but he let someone else live in it. When confronted, we found out they were lowkey thugs and had political connections. We couldnt do anything about it. After 1.5 years of not paying rent we finally filed a case in court and they were ordered to move out which they did after 6 months. While leaving, they damaged the doors and shelves and made a mess of the house. We had to renovate the house all over. It boils my blood to think how shameless that family is to be able to do such a thing. Also it seems they had borrowed 12 lakh from a women and cheated her out of it. She came to the house after they moved out and was panicking to see they left. Poor woman I feel so sorry for her. Trust no one people. It's a harsh world. I hope they get their karma.

This is the story of almost every household in Bengal. Tenants occupying property for decades and paying penny rent to the rent control. If you go to the court it takes another couple of decades for nothing to happen. We house owners are helpless.

I had many tenants who dint pay rent for months, broke fans, toilets, ruined walls but vacated overnight without informing leaving bills and lot of repair work behind.

Please share as much as possible

Very sad to see that people who have bought a home denied their basic right. Authorities should move quickly to give justice. Thanks for video.

Doctor hai.... Jab flat owner ke prati itni loyal hai toh patients k prati aur adhik hogi.... Great to see our educated elite class's behaviour and mindset

it happens everywhere in noida . my plot is also illegaly encroached by a property dealer in badalpur village gr noida .

Even after court's order if the tenant is not vacating the flat. It's terrific. After reading through lots of comments. I feel like the best solution is to cut the electricity and water supply as being owner it is possible to contact and do that. Because without electricity, it is possible to live for few days but without water it's almost impossible to survive! The will become hell for the tenant. It's so sad to hear that even if law can't protect us then whom should we ask for help? 😔

Publish her photo and daily details on all social media platforms…

Either police man is her boyfriend or she knows laws misusing at extreme level. The man has the keys should directly go to HIS HOUSE and throw her stuff out. If police or court interferes he can show all the documents required hhim to evict her. This can only be done while video taping for evidence purpose. Refusing court order is like Court also doesn't have any authority.

Stop spending in lawyers and taxis. Pay that money to a goon, make him vacate the house forcefully, if/when she raises objection, show the courts order to her. Only force can deliver justice now

Since there's court order favouring the landlord and despite the order the tenant doesn't vacate the house. This amounts to CONTEMPT OF COURT... The tenant can appeal against the court order in higher court's and precisely this is what the tenant wants to do... Keep the legal cases going on and on... To harass the landlord... There's a Goa High court order published in TOI dated 24th Jan '24... The landlord can exercise his right by citing the case and asking for eviction of the tenant.

This is absolutely horrible. He deserves to retire in peace. I believe each society has a Society Group in place - which comprises of residents from the society - which can help out in cases of abuse by tenants. Perhaps they can help out too. Thank you, Quint, for bringing his story to light.

It has happened with me and Police will surely help in this regard . Owner can put a grievance under home ministry of pgportal & if possible raise another grievance with state governance / cm helpdesk.

The help of a rental property lawyer may be taken and an eviction suit against the tenant may be filed in a civil court under whose jurisdiction your property is located.

Police is involved with her, looks like she is very powerful otherwise no one can reject court orders.

Let this go viral on all social media platforms, Involve media. bring so much shame on her that she herself leaves!! We want to see how culprit looks who is harassing such a humble man.

The owner is absolutely correct, just a bit of a point that I observed here. The rent agreement was of 36 months, however, in the video it is not quite mentioned that the agreement was a notarized agreement or was it the registered agreement from court where the court vacates the tenant in case of any discrepancy. Because in case the agreement period is more than 11 months, registered agreement is mandatory in most states (not sure about Delhi though). If it is the registered one, the court shall take responsibility and not the owner to vacate the owner by any means, by force too. @TheQuint, please clarify this.

I am just shocked to see that why police is not intervening to get the court orders implemented. This is such a disrespect to the Hon'ble court, where is our country going 😞

Thank you Quint for sharing such stories and helping out sir. We really would appreciate more such stories or people in need who can get the much needed attention in these cases.

I was going through this but I am partially responsible for it. My tenant started defaulting on rent citing his business failure during COVID. My mistake was my sympathy towards him. Also his sweet talk saying he will pay everything once his business is back on track. And like giving biscuit to a dog, he kept on paying small amounts to me giving me some hope that he will pay full. Then when i knew his trick and asked him to vacate , he started talking about his moral responsibility to pay me full outstanding amount before moving out. Again I was a little soft on him and allowed for another few months. Finally I got fed up and kicked him out saying I am going to police station to file a complaint. By this time , he owed me 1.8lakh in rent! He vacated and with great pain i know I am not going to get my money. 😢 Interestingly he still messages me saying he will pay me some day!

This is a very basic thing sir just pay some amount to the local police from your side share the documents and ask them to help them vacate the house

This is really bad as one of our close relatives are bearing this situation from last 23 years

if it is loan free property then mortgage it to bank. Default the payments willfully and ask bank to cease the apartment. Also never make more than a year agreement.

Yes, in India there is no protection for your own property… The govt takes registration charges as well as regularly collects house tax, but never helps in eviction… In foreign countries, your asset is protected by govt which directs police to evict and restore restrictions for illegal entry…

Sir you shud file a writ petition in high court ...once the petition is passed thru court then the police will be bound to carry out the court's orders & within 7 days time your flat will be vacated.

Same had happened with me. We requested the electrician to cut off the power supply and take off the electricity board. They left in 2 days. Break the water supply pipe that goes to that flat. Trouble them..and they will leave.

Why singham, IPS, iconic police isn't evicting them ?
