Tenant not
vacating
your flat?
flatkabza is India's public record of rental disputes. Property owners share the challenges they face — a tenant not vacating the flat, a renter refusing to move out, unpaid rent, an expired rent agreement with the tenant still not leaving, or illegal possession of the property — so the broader community stays informed, state by state, city by city.

How to get a tenant to vacate a flat in India?
Start with a written legal notice asking the tenant to vacate, then file an eviction suit in the local civil court if they refuse. While the legal process runs its course, you can document your case publicly on flatkabza so other owners and the community are aware of the dispute.
What can I do if my rent agreement has expired and the tenant is not leaving?
Once a rent agreement expires, the tenant's continued stay is unauthorized. Send a legal notice, avoid accepting rent (which can imply a renewed tenancy), and approach the court for eviction. Reporting the situation here helps build a public record of the dispute.
A tenant is occupying my flat illegally — is that kabza?
Yes. When a tenant stays on without a valid agreement or after being asked to leave, it amounts to illegal possession — commonly called kabza. Owners across India report such cases on flatkabza, state-wise and city-wise, without revealing anyone's personal details.
My tenant is not paying rent and not leaving — what are my options?
Non-payment of rent is a strong ground for eviction in most state rent control laws. Issue a demand notice for the dues, then file for eviction. You can also share your experience anonymously on flatkabza to warn and inform other property owners.
Can a tenant lock out the owner from their own flat in India?
No — a tenant has no right to lock out the lawful owner. If a tenant has changed the locks or is denying you access, treat it as illegal possession, file a police complaint, and begin eviction proceedings. Documenting the dispute publicly on flatkabza adds community pressure and awareness.
