The Eviction Notice can be used as a warning letter before proceeding with any legal action. 

The Eviction Notice may initially be served by the Landlord and if no response is received within the specified period, the notice may be served on the Tenant through a practising advocate.

• The supreme court of India has stated that no landlord can evict his/ her tenant for atleast a timespan of upto 5 years until and unless the landlord actually requires the property for self use.
• You should never evict a tenant without sending eviction notice.
• The grounds on which you are evicting the tenant should be in consonance and should be admissible under the corresponding State’s rental laws.
